I've not played with poll(2) in BIND9, but as far as I understand it, it doesn't solve the fundamental overhead issue here. For example, the application should examine all possible descriptors even if only a few of them are readable. Anyway, since this is a FreeBSD specific list, I believe we can safely assume the existence of kqueue, unless we are talking about a very old version:-) --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
