I don't think you need it to respond on every address the system allows. 2) You can do a 'ulimit -n 16384' before you run named. 3) You still might be limited to the FD_SETSIZE, in which case you need to recomile named with '-DFD_SETSIZE=16384'. Better would be to modify named not to use anything related to FD_SETSIZE (assuming it does).
