If so, and if servers always return SERVFAILs to any query, it may
indicate a different type of problem than merely exhausting file
descriptors.  If you also serve an authoritative zone in that server,
you may want to check whether queries for names in the authoritative
zone are responded.  You may also want to check whether the server
returns a query for "version.bind TXT CH" (after configuring the
server to respond to it).
