Be careful with "bind".  This version has an internal inconsistency
where it expects to allow 1024 files to be open, but a compiled in
constant in another section of the code limits it to 128 files.  The
upshot is bind fails to start properly and everything quickly goes to
hell in a hand basket as name resolution grinds to a halt.  The
subsequent boot will hang whenever it tries to resolve anything.

The workaround is to add "files 1024;" to the options section in
named.conf.  (I can't believe bind really thinks it needs 1024 files
open at one point.  This is so far over the top it is insane.)

.../etc/named.conf:

options {
        ...
	// Sep 10 04:24:18 arbol named[20283]: the 'files' limit (128)
	// is less than FD_SETSIZE (1024), increase 'files' in
	// named.conf or recompile with a smaller FD_SETSIZE.
	//
	files 1024;     // needed on BIND 9.5.0-P2 -u named -wsr 2008-09-10
        ...
};
