[MaraDNS list] MaraDNS and nproc limit problem

[Apologies if this was sent twice to the list]

MaraDNS 1.4.12 is outdated.  The best version of MaraDNS to use is
MaraDNS 2.0.07 (which includes Deadwood 3.2.03), which I released last
month.

Unlike MaraDNS 1, MaraDNS 2 only has two processes: One for MaraDNS,
and one for Deadwood, MaraDNS 2's recursive resolver [1].

Deadwood, unlike MaraDNS 1, only uses a single process to process all
recursive DNS queries; it uses the "select() model" to not require
multiple threads.

Information on updating from MaraDNS 1 to MaraDNS 2 is here:

MaraDNS 2.0 can be downloaded here:

[1] If you must use the TCP "zoneserver", more processes will be
needed, since "zoneserver" uses the fork() model.  Note that
maradns.org does not use zoneserver; I think it's optional.
