I'm pretty sure it's a leak... if left alone, the ldirectord process eventually goes into swap, uses 
it all up, and causes the kernel to start killing processes (like bind) because it has run out of 
memory.

I think I mentioned it in my original mail from a while back, but my perl is v5.8.4-8
(ie current debian sarge version)

I expect I'll have to run up a seperate test environment - the application that's running behind UM 
has a very high HA requirement, and I can't just go messing about with it too much :-)

Yes, we have 2 directors for HA, configs follow:

*** ha.cf: ***
logfile /var/log/ha-log
logfacility local0
keepalive 1
deadtime 3
warntime 3
initdead 10
auto_failback Off
udpport 694
ucast eth0  203.97.XXX.XXX
ucast eth1  192.168.XXX.XXX
node  director1
node  director2

** haresources: **
director1 IPaddr::203.97.XXX.XXX/24/eth0 IPaddr::192.168.XXX.XXX/28/eth1 
ldirectord::/etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf
