Hi Peter, I’ve run a few tests based on your observations regarding the number of vCPU cores and my own findings are that it is specifically 8 vCPUs and 12 vCPUs which exhibit this behaviour. I haven’t been able to test beyond 12 vCPUs because that’s my hardware limit.
With 1-7 vCPUs, or with 9-11 vCPUs BIND 9.16.19 starts just fine. But with either 8 vCPUs or 12 vCPUs the ISC BIND service fails to start. If I try and start the service manually I get: / / / / / Windows could not start the ISC BIND service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. / / / / / And if I look in the Windows Application Event Log I see named logging all of the following, and then it stops right after logging that it’s using 1 UDP listener per interface: / / / / / BIND 9 is maintained by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC), a non-profit 501(c)(3) public-benefit corporation. Support and training for BIND 9 are available at https://www.isc.org/support ---------------------------------------------------- found 8 CPUs, using 8 worker threads using 1 UDP listener per interface / / / / / You should file a bug report on ISC’s BIND bug tracker if you’d like them to investigate it. It doesn’t impact me I’m afraid because my Windows BIND servers are all 2 vCPU virtual machines – I find that’s plenty enough resource to run BIND for me. https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues Best, Richard.

Man what A BUG
