BIND 9 tcp-client quotas

Thu Sep 12 20:39:38 UTC 2002

The ARM states that tcp-clients sets "The maximum number of simultaneous client TCP connections that the server will accept."

When I set this to 1 with BIND 9.2.1/Solaris 8, I am able to do two and more 
simultaneous AXFRs. Is there something wrong with the server or did I read the
ARM the wrong way? 

After the second AXFR the named.run file shows:

Sep 12 15:58:54.043 client 127.0.0.1#33478: no more TCP clients: quota reached
Sep 12 15:58:54.045 client 127.0.0.1#33478: transfer of '1.2.3.4.5.e164.arpa/IN': AXFR 
started
