questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=797111417-06032009><FONT
color=#000080></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=797111417-06032009><FONT color=#000080>1) Is there a
recommended setting (number of FDs)?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=797111417-06032009><FONT color=#000080>2) Better to set
this at the kernal level with the set rlimit, </FONT></SPAN><SPAN

or both</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=797111417-06032009><FONT color=#000080>3) Should the number be
correlated to the number of recursive clients?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=797111417-06032009><FONT color=#000080>4) Different on the auth
