I've always been curious how well bind runs with 10,000+ domains in it. That's one big named.boot file.

Piece 'o cake. For BIND 8.1 that is. BIND 4.9 will start up in about twice the time, but then every 15 minutes it will appear to freeze solid while it stat()'s all those files. BIND 8.1 does it all incrementally. BIND 8.2 will have a clustered memory allocator which will make it start up in about 1/5th the time it takes now. But this is some months from now.
