		Actually, it's surprising you can get more than 10 to work.
 Kevin indicated that he could get up to 18 and still have named
 continue to run.  It stopped at 19.  I received some code to allow
 it to work with as many as 100 IP addresses, but I haven't examined
 the code yet.

		This is a new one.  Did anyone see this in 8.2.2-P5 or is it only
  in the 8.2.3-T6B version?

	It will take time to figure out the fixes for these problems.  In the
meantime
  don't put that many IP addresses on a box and temporary files can easily
  be cleaned up.  My priorities are first the resolv.conf problem, followed by
  the Too-Many IP addresses problem and then the temp files.
