- Zone File Structure: The zone file contains a high number of TXT

1. _Understanding the Limit:_ Is there a configurable limit in BIND that
restricts the number of records per zone? If so, how can we adjust this
limit to accommodate our current zone size?
Albeit you can adjust configuration to allow more records in one place
it is not recommended. Doing so opens possibility of DoS attacks.
2. _Optimization Tips:_ Are there best practices for managing large
zones with thousands of records to prevent such issues?
3. _Error Interpretation:_ Can the “too many records” error be mitigated
by restructuring the zone file or employing specific configurations?
In short yes. You will also get better performance if you spread out the
records across multiple _names_. Besides other things size of single
resource record _set_ is limited to 64 kB so putting all records onto a
single node would eventually create issues even without this limit.
I hope it helps to understand the situation.
