+ This option should be unnecessary for the vast majority
+ of users.
+ The use of this option could even be harmful because the
+ specified value may exceed the limitation of the
+ underlying system API.
+ It is therefore set only when the default configuration
+ causes exhaustion of file descriptors and the
+ operational environment is known to support the
+ specified number of sockets.
+ Note also that the actual maximum number is normally a little
+ fewer than the specified value because
+ <command>named</command> reserves some file descriptors
+ for its internal use.
