BIND 9.4.2-P1 and sockets?

[etirado.ext at orange-ftgroup.com]

Well, my question was exactly on this matter:

	named is quite capable of matching multiple queries and
	only asking one question.

I didn't think that recursive clients was incremented even when matching multiple queries and recursing only once.

Thank you Mark.

Regards,

Emmanuel

	named is quite capable of matching multiple queries and
	only asking one question.

	One query from a client can cause named to ask multiple
	questions simultaniously.

	There is no direct relationship between recursive clients
	and outgoing queries.
