It gets about 3500 q/s, of which around 200 q/s are over TCP. At least, this is what DSC reports (DSC is a libpcap application sniffing traffic independent of BIND). In my named.conf, I have set: reserved-sockets 1000; tcp-clients 900; Yet, when BIND is running, it is frequently logging: 16-Jun-2020 15:21:58.815 general: Accepting TCP connection failed: socket is not connected What does this log message mean? I don't think it's related to quota, because the quota message is different ("TCP connection failed: quota reached"). Another question I have is that the "reserved-sockets" option has a note saying that it might go away. Does this mean that it's not actually necessary? The documentation suggests that I have to increase it if I want to increase the value of "tcp-clients".
