Hello again-
Our issue is now appearing on multiple physical nameservers in our
domain running 9.5.1-P3.
The second server that is noticing this is Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Server release 5.3 (Tikanga) 64 bit, complied 9.5.1-P3 from src with
default configure options. So the problem seems to persist across
vastly different linux environments [the first server we saw this on was
Redhat AS 3].
I am not a heavy duty programmer but my understand based on src is that
this may be related to the inability to send a UDP response and is
perhaps a resource exhaustion issue. I'm not sure what ISC_R_NRESULTS
'invalid file' is trying to tell me. As before, the server seems to
recover, but DNS resolution does stop for about a minute.
