I've heard that compiling the zones first (named-compilezone?) is a big help in this situation; I can't vouch for it though.

For the bind > file system choices, there are any suggestions advice? Are you sure it's filesystem issue? ext3 has a feature, dir_index, which uses hashed b-trees to speed up lookups in large directories. It's activated by default (at least on RHEL & Ubuntu, should be the same on other modern distros). Try checking with "dumpe2fs -h" to make sure you have it. Also, you could organize the zone files (manually) so that they spread over many directories instead of one. -- Fajar ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
