For Solaris9 kernal tunables, this may help: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-7137/6md5pauj7?l=en&a=view
But note that in my experience BIND 9.4.x will not use these OS limits, but what how many FDs have compiled BIND with. For our purposes, 9.5.1b2 worked great on Solaris9 We are now running 9.6.0-P1 (for us, 9.5 to 9.6 was easy). There are some changes between 9.4.x and 9.5.x, which you should review on isc.org should you decide to upgrade. Search this list archive for socket or file descriptor issue threads as all of this has been discussed before. ----- Original Message ---- From: Prabhat Rana <prana9...@yahoo.com> To: Linux Addict <linuxaddi...@gmail.com> Cc: sergiot...@gmail.com; comp-protocols-dns-b...@isc.org Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 1:24:33 PM Subject: Re: DNS server can resolve some domains - BIND 9.4.2-P1 Sorry.
