I was suprised at the amount of zone files and amount of delegations they get a day as well. Naturally the five hundred is a peak and does not happen every day but I do not want to reload the server every half hour or so as naturally it is quite busy. > > I was looking for a dynamic way to add a zone file to the server without > > restarting the server ie ndc reload > > Ummm, aren't you going to have to burp the server (i.e. ndc reload) to get > it to start serving those zones. Thats true, but I was hoping that there was some dynamic way instead of just a ndc reload. I went through the source and it doesn't look too difficult to implement such a feature - I was wondering how other people handle these situations. Currently we reload our servers every 5 minutes (for customer turnaround time) but the machines don't seem to handle it very well.
