Hi all,

after upgrading to bind-9.4.3b2 I see the following in the logfile

16-Jul-2008 08:55:11.547 general: sockmgr 25af70: maximum number of FD 
events (64) received
16-Jul-2008 08:57:11.796 general: sockmgr 25af70: maximum number of FD 
events (64) received
16-Jul-2008 08:57:11.797 general: sockmgr 25af70: maximum number of FD 
events (64) received
16-Jul-2008 09:37:17.581 general: sockmgr 25af70: maximum number of FD 
events (64) received
16-Jul-2008 09:37:17.677 general: sockmgr 25af70: maximum number of FD 
events (64) received

% uname -a
SunOS mantis 5.9 Generic_122300-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210

In lib/isc/unix/socket.c I see a comment in #ifdef USE_KQUEUE
* This is not an error, but something unexpected.  If this
* happens, it may indicate the need for increasing
* ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS.

but there is no such comment in #elif defined(USE_DEVPOLL)

Since this is a Solaris 9 system, I assume bind uses /dev/poll ..
Is it something I should worry about? Do I need to increase 
ISC_SOCKET_MAXEVENTS? Do queries get dropped?

TIA,
Sotiris.
