In order to minimize the number of needed sockets, I asked /etc/named.conf to listen on a single interface: listen-on { 192.168.222/24 ; } However, named -g still returns: ... 15-Feb-2010 16:33:33.279 less than 128 UDP sockets available after applying 'reserved-sockets' and 'maxsockets' ... 15-Feb-2010 16:33:36.435 listening on IPv4 interface {5DAF3057-DBA6-4354-A5FA-6171C8, 192.168.222.1#53 15-Feb-2010 16:33:36.437 socket: file descriptor exceeds limit (128/64) 15-Feb-2010 16:33:36.437 could not listen on UDP socket: not enough free resources I Understand that Vista has a very limited number of available sockets, but could not find a nice way to increase this number. I could find drivers hacking the registry or patches to the IP stack but don't feel very confident with those....
