So you are recommending that if they take 300 new accounts in a day they should reload their nameservers 300 times that day?
There is a technical solutions to this problem. Fix BIND so that you can tell it to load a new domain without reloading everything. I'm sure I have heard of people who have customized BIND in this way. But an alternative to doing it yourself is to send ISC some money and request an admin interface that you can telnet to and issue commands like: LOAD ALL (same as kill -HUP) LOAD example.com,example.net,weenie.com,blazingxxx.com STOP (same as kill) ...
Remember these aren't nameservers that serve 5 domains, figure tens of thousands.
On the other hand, maybe there is another solution. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Run at least two nameservers. Add all new domains to a nameserver that has a small enough number of zones that it can easily handle being reloaded every hour. Then every week, transfer them all to your HUMUNGO server. -- Michael Dillon - E-mail: michael () memra com Check the website for my Internet World articles - http://www.memra.com
