Hi

I too have had an identical experience on two machines recently, any input
much appreciated. Or perhaps it's a BIND 9 specific problem...

Thanks

Subject: Limiting icmp unreach response from 231 to 200 packets per
second
	On rare occasions, a FreeBSD system in our network has
been known to print the example shown in the subject at a furious
rate for a short time and then things get back to normal.
	Is that what the effects of a ping flood look like?
	On one system running bind9, the named process died after
the syslog message said that packets had reached 243 per second,
but I was able to restart it within seconds of its crash.
Only the named process crashed, not the system.
	Any ideas as to what this is?
