Setting ulimit -n in the shell that spawns bind should be enough, you can verify whether or not you managed to increase the limit by taking a look at /proc/<BIND-PID>/limits. Also check out http://marc.info/?t=121719517400005 for a whole thread on what's probably the same issue, with notes on how to make the limits setting more permanent.
