The company I currently work for uses QIP. The current
database has ~6500000 objects in it, so about a total
of 1.3million DNS records (forward/reverse). See my
comments on each of your requirements:

We use ISC BIND, rather than the QIP BIND that ships
with QIP. We had problems with that daemon. I do
not know if it has gotten better or not, but once burned....
That being said, QIP operates fine, even if you don't run
their version of BIND.

It can do this.

It can do this.

It can do this.

It can do this, although I am not sure if Solaris 8 is
a supported platform yet.

QIP 5.2 has a lot more managability features, from a
strictly cosmetic perspective. QIP 6 is supposed to have
even more, and is due out 4th quarter I believe. I have
not worked with an environment this large with QIP, but
would expect that it would hold up ok.
