This can be 'normal' if you are just seeing the log message intermittently. It just indicates a peak in socket activity. Nothing should be dropped as a result - it's simply that when named's i/o watcher polled for socket events, there were more than anticipated so only the first 64 could be notfied. The remaining events should get picked up next time around. If the message persists, then there is probably something else 'going on' that you need to investigate. https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-00508/ _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
