Re: 50 million records under one domain using Bind

I don't suggest using a "heavy" DB back end such as SQL for 50M records without thought. Each DNS query might do several SQL lookups depending on the type of query and number of hostname components. Factor in a mail server and the number of hits becomes a dozen for one instance. I.e. a.b.c.def.c

Out of curiosity, if one zone is to hold 50 million records, what would they all be for? I can't even imagine blogspot or godaddy being in that league. Perhaps with this many records just using a wldcard would be simpler? Then again maybe this is a new tld, or old one being consolidated? --
