Best way to achieve this is with anycast, which can be pretty time-consuming to set up - try searching for Nat Morris's presentation "anycast on a shoestring" which he gave at several NOG meetings. The advantage of anycast (as opposed to having NS records in lots of locations) is that you are depending less on resolvers to work out for themselves which of your servers is fastest. > - up to millions records in a domain zone The biggest zone on my servers is an RPZ blocklist with 7 million records. It's about half a GB and takes nearly 30s to load.

Recovery from outages depends on either the zone's SOA refresh interval, or the next NOTIFY if the update rate is faster. > - API for zone records manipulation (insert, update, delete) As Mukund said, nsupdate :-) > 1.

There are some distributed measurement platforms such as RIPE ATLAS. (I can't think of any others off the top of my head.)
