Search Again: Re: size of RAM/machine for DNS From: Asle Benoni Date: Saturday, November 13, 1999 Time: 10:36:00 am First: you are on the right list for the best DNS. After DHCP, DNS does not take much horsepower but is crucial and has to be rock solid. You have other things to keep up on right? I spent a year of nightmares over a mailserver until I found one that just keeps on working... In reply to your question I can say I serve 75 domains with QDNS 2.1.2 on a Performa 630 (33Mhz 040) with 12MB RAM and system 7.6. crashed twice in 2 years and no complaints about the speed. I am considering though a small PowerPC with more RAM to run QDNS on i.ex. MacOS 8.6. But "if it works don´t touch it.." goes. Kinda strange to read about all different problems people have on this list. I just uppgrade every time there is a new version and I have never had any kind of those problems. I only miss one thing - remote administration. Now I use Timbuktu which is OK when I have TB2 on the machine I am using... Guess this will start a whose-running-most-domains-on-smallest-Mac rush on this list. Sorry if I started that...
