Jing, FYI, Here we are using rhels6.2 and not sles, sorry for the confusion
The number of hosts in my case is
# wc -l /etc/hosts
2144 /etc/hosts
numreqs that I have been using
# grep numreqs /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/ddns.pm
my $numreqs = 268; # limit to 300 updates in a payload, something broke
at 644 on a certain sample, choosing 300 for now
$numreqs -= 1;
if ($numreqs == 0) {
$numreqs=268;
if ($numreqs != 268) { #either no entries at all to begin with or a
perfect multiple of 300
# ls -l /var/named/
total 320
