Oops, I meant lower number FDs.  And note that the word "reserve".
Whether or not your server has that large number of TCP connections,
named will reserve the FD space from around 20 to around 512 by
default.  So, even if the server only uses e.g. 100 UDP sockets (FDs)
in parallel, you could see a file descriptor of 600 or so.
