Unix domain sockets are opened and never closed in urldbmgrd. This is a very slow leak over time.
Urldbmgrd may hit a limit of open file descriptors, and may eventually core and restart. When urldbmgrd restarts, urldb also restarts. This may result in a momentary instant where URL categorization is not available.
SWG or URLDB is provisioned.
Restarting urldbmgrd will clear the open file descriptors. Performing a forced restart during a time of no traffic will mitigate the risk of urldbmgrd restarting at an inconvenient time if there are too many sockets open. "bigstart restart urldbmgrd" will restart the daemon.
