I'm curious about how well the DNS as we know it scales. Does anyone out there have facts or anecdotes on practical experience with large zones or large number of zones being served by a single server? What is the largest that's been attempted, and what are the pitfalls? On a related topic, is it possible that a less random distribution of servers would have a beneficial effect on DNS traffic on the various backbones? Replies to me, if you like. I'll summarize to the list if there's general interest. Jeff Hayward The University of Texas System +1 512 471 2444 Office of Telecommunication Services jeff@nic.the.net
