I've been dealing with DLZ systems for the better part of a few years now. Unless something has changed I am not aware of in the last 12 months, I can offer a few suggestions. Make sure you test load. Find the fastest reading DB backend you are comfortable with. Then performance test it. The load of a medium to heavy system on the database is significant. Doing 1000's of DNS lookups per second on a non DLZ system is generally not too hard to build out. Doing 1000's of selects on a database, DLZ or not, is significantly more challenging. Keep in mind, 1 lookup generally is not 1 database lookup in DLZ, but will take a few to get the final answer. I find DLZ really shines when you are adding and removing domains often and need instant access to those changes. If you are not making many changes to your records, the performance hit is not worth the ease of records management you gained. If reloading named starts to take too long, DLZ will come into play. You will more than likely want to look at ways of distributing multiple DLZ systems. There is a competing product for which I have no experience with. I'm sure you can find it in google. I would explore the pros and cons of any alternative system as well as BIND/named standalone, and of course a DLZ backed method. I have never had to implement signed zones before. If that data is within the zone, I see no reason why DLZ would not be able to return the correct response. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *
