Bind 9.1.3 Stops answering queries

Hello all,

I am running Bind 9.1.3 on a freebsd box, and bind resolves request nicely up
to the point that we have a large pool (>150) of dial up users using it. At
that point the bind server just stops sending out responses. Once the user
number drops below 100 the server works fine.

There are no error messages showing up and named doesn't die during this
time. The only sign that something is wrong is in the query logs. The log
shows a client requesting a domain over and over again. These request will
start when the number users gets high and stays around until the number drop
again.

The strange thing is that the server is working fine now, with out a reload
or a restart.

So my question is, is there a max number of clients variable that needs to be
set? And what else can I do to troubleshoot this problem, I have already set
debug levels and the like.

Thanks for any hints or pointers.
Brian Morgan
