TMM crashes when attempting to perform DNS resolution with a DNS resolver or DNS cache, if the outbound-msg-retry configuration value is set to 0. Additionally, modifications to the outbound-msg-retry value do not immediately take effect, and the DNS cache or resolver may continue to function with the previously-configured value.
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
A DNS cache or DNS net resolver with outbound-msg-retry set to 0.
Do not set the 'outbound-msg-retry' value for DNS caches and DNS resolvers to a value of 0. If making configuration changes to the 'outbound-msg-retry' value, also change the "use-ipv4" or "use-ipv6" setting (i.e. toggle from "yes" to "no", and then back to "yes").
The DNS cache and DNS resolver outbound-msg-retry setting is now restricted to being a positive integer (i.e. a value greater than 0). Changes to the outbound-msg-retry setting now take effect immediately.
