CLASS="MSGEXPLAN"
>&#13;  rvnamed has reached its maximum number of child processes. This is
  intended as a "brake" to prevent too many rvnamed children
  from hogging your computer's resources and possibly crashing it.  Unless IPTraf is monitoring an extremely busy network without filters,
  this shouldn't happen, at least, not that often. If you notice
  this message, try applying filters or check your DNS server. Many times,
  this can happen when the DNS server goes down for
  whatever reason, and you have rvnamed children taking too long to resolve.</BLOCKQUOTE
