I have come up against this error when figuring out network issues: "Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)" I had switched off DNSSEC and then turned it back on at part of the troubleshooting. I'm seeing the DS queries related to DNSSEC now and noticing that there are about 4 additional queries per A or AAAA query with DNSSEC turned on. Question is, do those DNSSEC queries count towards the maximum? If so, the functional maximum could be lower than expected. (I have increased the limit using "dns-forward-max" because I have a network topology and set off devices that seem to get spammy when transient issues occur. This is just a question out of curiosity.)
