If your WDS service unexpected restarts and you have multiple routers with ip helpers defined, the following problem can occure:
- Multiple router forward the same request to the WDS server
- The WDS starts a threads per request
- This threads access the same object at the same time

Resolution
This Problem can be solved with restricting wds to use only one thread.
