Now we got to experience what happens when dnsdist reaches the 16k limit in case anyone else wants to know (confirm or disagree) - dnsdist does not restart (but that would make sense and would result in "auto-recovery") - backend resolver (running on the same OS) is up/down flapping according to dnsdist - dumpStats() reports a fd-usage of "0" [...] dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Problem sending carbon data: Too many open files dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'up' dnsdist[20176]: Marking downstream 127.0.0.1:53 as 'down' [...] We restarted it manually. _______________________________________________ dnsdist mailing list dnsdist@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/dnsdist
