Re: [cobalt-users] named / resource temporarily unavailable

[Cobalt Support <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was in regard to receiving "Resource temporarily unavailable" messages
logged by "named" in "/var/log/messages".

The server in question is pretty quiet (load average typically only
0.01-0.05), only hosts DNS for about 10 domains and I am sure there are far
fewer that 300 concurrent connections on the web server.

The errors appear random throughout the day and although I heard something
about the latest kernel update fixing it - it appears they have not and the
errors continue.

So - is there anyone else still seeing these errors??

Thank you.
