No, there shouldn't be. You may want a slave KDC or two for redundancy in case of hardware problems -- with that many entries it's probably going to be a critical service for a lot of people -- but in terms of disk space and cpu load, just about any desktop or server system you can buy off the shelf these days should be able to handle it easily.
