Symptoms

Memory leaks for zrd when performing wide IP alias updating.

Impact

Conditions

When an add, modification, or deletion of a GTM Wide IP Alias is made through the GUI or tmsh, there is a small memory leak in zrd. Although this memory leak is small for any one change, it could be noticeable after hundreds or thousands of changes when viewing memory consumption through 'top' or other tools.
