I've done some more digging today - I have found a couple 9.2.4 servers that had the same file descriptors problem at the same time as the 9.4.2-p2 servers.
Feb 24 13:28:48 dns01 named[29292]: socket: too many open file descriptors Both servers named processes seem to have 2048 FD's available: # grep FDSize /proc/29292/status FDSize: 2048 So it would seem that 9.2.4 also has a problem. We will still look to upgrade these, but I wanted comment in case anyone else was having problems and searching. Cheers, t.
