Hi,
i maintained message-ids to the "odd problems with named-xfer" thread but used
a new subject since discussion seems to have ended quite some time ago and
they were discussing version 8.2.3.
To introduce the problem:

well, now my issue:
At reload/reconfig 20 zone-transfers are made by one of our secondaries but
some zones are still not setup correctly and not transferred several hours
from reconfig.
Configfile options used are:
server 194.97.3.82 {
transfer-format many-answers;
transfers 40;
};
and _no_ additional notify at the zone section for the master.
I changed the following variables in bin/named/ns_defs.h:
-#define MAXQSERIAL 4 /* max # of outstanding QSERIAL's */
+#define MAXQSERIAL 20 /* max # of outstanding QSERIAL's */
-#define XFER_TIMER 120 /* named-xfer's connect timeout */
+#define XFER_TIMER 30 /* named-xfer's connect timeout */
-#define MAX_XFERS_RUNNING 20 /* max value of transfers_in */
-#define DEFAULT_XFERS_RUNNING 10 /* default value of transfers_in */
-#define DEFAULT_XFERS_PER_NS 2 /* default # of xfers per peer nameserver */
+#define MAX_XFERS_RUNNING 60 /* max value of transfers_in */
+#define DEFAULT_XFERS_RUNNING 20 /* default value of transfers_in */
+#define DEFAULT_XFERS_PER_NS 10 /* default # of xfers per peer nameserver */
everything else is vanilla 8.3.4 but seemed to run smoothly with 8.2.2*.
so, what value not to mess around with?
regards,
Stefan
PS: i'd prefer staying with bind8 at this point since i'm graphing rainbow
coloured queries/s for different query-types and it just looks good. ;)
