Bob,
Some date and record number details from one of my systems, with
'max-journal-size: 100m'. Yes, I've changed the zone names.. ;)
NOTE: Add/Del numbers show total / non-dnssec-or-soa related update numbers.
'zone1' is a monitoring test zone that has sub-zone delegation changes a few
times a minute:
dnssec signed: Yes, NSEC3 with Optout
zone1 size: 127k
one1.jnl size: 63M
date now: Wed Jan 21 22:12:15 UTC 2015
oldest jnl soa: Tue Jan 20 20:42:29 UTC 2015
total records: 1,233
no. SOA del's: 52,964
no. del's: 236,556 / 79,716
no. add's: 236,604 / 79,713
'zone2' is a public delegation zone that changes as customers demand:
dnssec signed: Yes, NSEC3 with Optout
zone2 size: 176M
zone2.jnl size: 100M
date now: Wed Jan 21 22:15:15 UTC 2015
oldest jnl soa: Fri Dec 19 17:22:20 UTC 2014
total records: 5,917,482
no. SOA del's: 138,752
no. del's: 456,870 / 172,427
no. add's: 478,940 / 194,541
'zone3' is a public authoritative zone that rarely changes:
dnssec signed: Yes, NSEC3 with Optout
zone3 size: 1.6M
zone3.jnl size: 69M
date now: Wed Jan 21 22:27:53 UTC 2015
oldest jnl soa: Mon Oct 27 21:19:38 UTC 2014
total records: 6,984
no. SOA del's: 35,144
no. del's: 175,832 / 0
no. add's: 175,832 / 0
So the journal files can live for quite a while ;)
