This happend since I've upgraded bind 9.21 to 9.6.0. I've increased
the max open files to 4096:

sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=4096

which shows it resized from 4040->4096

But I guess it's different for bind? I've googled and found several
references to this warning message, but everyone states it's not a
problem and shouldn't be concerned. Some real advice would be
appreciated.

Depends a lot as to how busy your name server is, I guess.

Mine is a lightly loaded in internal office use. When my PII 450 MHz
192MB machine issued similar complaint on upgrade of bind I was tricked
into rebooting a machine with over 800 days uptime only to get the exact
same message again.

So I limited the number of sockets named would ask for using this in
/etc/rc.conf:

named_flags="-4 -S 1024"
