Hi all,
I`m having lot of troubles with one of my solaris running BIND.
We're trying to see what happens but at the moment we're without any ideas
=2E...sysadmins says is all about BIND (it's supposed that it sholud the
aplication the one who frees memory, not the O.S) but I don't think so....
as we have other machines running same version without any problems.
I would like to know how does BIND manage the system memory
I also would like to know if BIND tries to perform some kind of cache=20
This is the system configuration .......
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 440=
MHz)
System clock frequency: 110 MHz
Memory size: 256 Megabytes
The other day I saw this on the messages file .........could be
some kind of DOS attack?=BF
named[29721]: fcntl(rfd, F_DUPFD, 20): Too many open files
named[29721]: fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD, 20): Too many open files
named[29721]: fcntl(rfd, F_DUPFD, 20): Too many open files
Traffic on this interface (not in the busiest hour)
#netstat -I qfe2 1
input qfe2 output input (Total) output
packets errs packets errs colls packets errs packets errs colls=20

656 0 662 0 0 658 0 664 0 0 =20
Options in named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
version "[Secured]";
files 8192;
};
Hope this helps=20
Thanks in advance.
