Hi Brad,
You wrote:
I'm familiar with NSD. It is very fast, but also quite memory
intensive. There were some interesting reports at RIPE from the
folks responsible for SUNET, which is secondary to some of the
largest ccTLD zones in the world, and how they were unable to fit all
the necessary data into very large quantities of memory on their
server (something like 64GB of RAM?).
Do you know of any machines that can have terabytes of RAM
available to store that much data?
I would like to see the reference to this, as these measurements
might be outdated.
Besides I would like to refer you and other readers to recent numbers
in http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-352.html#sec:memload where
memory consumption of NSD and named are measured as part of an
investigation of the effect of deploying DNSSEC at the RIPE NCC.
In Dutch we say "meten is weten". (To measure is to know).
