You could add a cmdline option to configure to override the "calculated" value. ie: ./configure --max-fd=256 My main concern is that right now it is highly unlikely that distro binaries will contain the increased FD_SETSIZE forcing anyone running into this problem to compile a custom named. While compiling a new binary is not a problem for me I cannot get a junior admin to upgrade named, which is a problem. Thanks for your comments and help, I really appreciate it. And I'd like to give a big "Thank You" to all the people who worked on BIND over the years.
