Hi Everyone,

I recently had a recursive server running BIND 9.9.4 on FreeBSD 9.2
appear to wedge and stop responding to clients. I had a flurry of these
errors on the console:

sonewconn: pcb 0xfffffe007211d930: Listen queue overflow: 16 already in
queue awaiting acceptance



You can tune tcp-listen-queue in named.conf.  The current default is 10.

Thanks!

My logs have been filling up with

sonewconn: pcb 0xfffffe02bb7187a8: Listen queue overflow: 10 already in
queue awaiting acceptance

Which seems to have started since upgrading to FreeBSD 9.2 (though there
have been other changes, but on the email front...so looking at BIND hadn't
crossed my mind at all until I spotted this thread), though its only on one
server, so I had been hunting around trying to figure out where its been
coming from.


So, digging around further....16 is QLEN, and the message is shown when QLEN is > 3 * QLIM / 2. So, QLEN = 16 for QLIM = 10 is right.

So, I need to find something with QLIM = 6 in my case? Hmm, my proxy server. Which seemed to be the only thing busy at the same time as when these messages appear in my logs.

Meanwhile...I had this happen today...

sonewconn: pcb 0xfffffe00a7367930: Listen queue overflow: 5 already in queue awaiting acceptance

Which does correspond with QLIM=3, where tcp-listen-queue's minimum and default was 3...until 9.9 where it's minimum and default became 10.
