However, I have had problems with receiving the "Too man open files" error. When this happens, the named daemon continues to run - but does not resolve names. Also, I have recompiled named increasing the FD_SETSIZE to 4096. Weird thing is after doing that, named ran for about a day before I received the "Too man open files" error and named stopped resolving.
