   You can get rid of the files 100 statement.  I don't think it gets
used
anywhere to
limit win32 file opens and it certainly isn't helping you. You can
ignore
the
"cannot set resource limits on this system" message as that message
comes
out
anyway on win32.  It's not specific to files and all win32 get that
message.

    You seem to have set up a lot of options in your named.conf.  Are
they
all really necessary or are you just experimenting?  For example,
there's
no need to include the port number in the listen-on statement as that is
the

default.  Also if IP1-IP5-MyDNSPrimaryWindows2000 are all of the IP
addresses on the system, then you don't need to specify any of them
since
it listens by default on all IP addresses set up on the system.

OK,

Options Listen-on and files are supressed,

but message erreur:
"fopen() of _msdcs.myzone.dumptmp failed: Errcode: 24: Too many open files"
always existe after 3 hours running.

My french Windows server 2000  have SP2.
Without Dynamic DNS (via Active Directory) there is no message erreur.

If you are one idea?

Thanks,
