I'm using the same definition which you use. So my question can be re-worded as, is there a performance difference between a QDNSPro server that is SOA for 140+ domains and one which is not only SOA for 140+ but also pulling zones for another 50 different domains? Right now I have only SOA records on one server and all secondaries on another.
