On a serious note, what are the providers out there that can do a decent secondary dns hosting service?. looks like a lot of people stopped offering this service for bulk amount of domains at reasonable price. Let's say (100K domains) mehmet On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 4:09 PM, Mark Andrews <marka@isc.org> wrote:

Hi,
If you are going the IaaS route, definitely checkout KnotDNS project. According to their benchmarks [1], it does much better than other DNS servers in about every workload.
The problem with KnotDNS/Yadifa/NSD is that they are too optimized for servers with a small number of zones containing large numbers of records, usually delegation-only. That is the use of TLD registries, but not the use case of registrars...
... all those 3 are getting better in supporting large number of zones with small number of records, but the canonical solution in that space is Power DNS. Things that TLDs usually don't like, SQL-backend for instance, makes perfect sense for this use case.
Note that the only workload they tested is serving the root zone, not multiple number of zones with variable number of RR-sets... so aligning

testing with the actual use case is crucial to make good decisions.
What I strongly support, though, is getting out of the BIND comfort zone.
Named will support millions of zones and they don't need to be listed in named.conf. BIND 9.11 supports catalog zone which is a meta zone which says what zones the server should configure itself for and where to transfer those zones from, etc.
