For handling host names, perhaps yes. But it implies sanity on the part of all apps that your clients use. App developers can use DNS as a database for any data, and in insanely large amounts. Examples of things like this have been spam databases, and I vaguely recall some social network doing something. A single app could easily push the DNS much harder, the only capacity limit being the tension between how much memory DNS operators provide and client demands to support this otherwise-wonderful app. John Wobus Cornell IT _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
