Scheduler oinker messages on console regarding NSD PFE process
This could be due to the nsd being busy due to excessive resolve failures on DNS for the addresses configured in the address book entry
Two possible workarounds:
1, resolve only IPv4 addresses if IPv6 address is not neededset groups ipv4-only security address-book global address <*> dns-name <*> ipv4-onlyset apply-groups ipv4-only
2, split large address-sets with dns-names and applied to new added policies.
