I've got it running in a 12MB RAM partition, and it does several hundred thousand lookups per day. 99% of these are for modem dialup users, surfing the net. The other 1% would be inbound requests from other DNS servers, for web site lookups, email lookups, and the like.... It's allways fast. Sounds like the only difference between my setup, and the people that are having problems, is the sheer number of domains/records hosted on the machine. ---------------------------------------------------------- "I can see three corners from this corner" -Dave Matthews ----------------------------------------------------------
