[Pdns-users] Log Message

[trietz]

Hi,

i've found the following message frequently in the pdns logfiles:

TCP nameserver had error, cycling backend: Reading data: Connection 
reset by peer
TCP server is without backend connections, launching

Can anybody explain what this message exactly mean? The ps output shows 
many pdns_server
instances:

Maybe exist an relation between the log message and the instances?
