Scenario:

I'm testing a new backend that I've written and the actual backend isn't running \
properly so all queries are timing out.  This is ok.

I am noticing that under steady but slow request load, powerdns is spawning 2 new \
unix sockets every 5 seconds or so.  I am now up to 1003 open sockets for the \
pdns_server process.  Why might this be?

Here is a verbose log from what I see on stdout while running the server for this \
test:
