	My former employer (the largest ISP in Belgium) had over 7000 
zones that they were supporting on their nameservers, and most zones 
had more than one name (some had many more than one name).  So, while 
3500 names may be considerably larger than many sites, it's not 
really all that large.  As another data point, the "small" zone 
benchmarks that Matt Simerson has been doing are based on having more 
than 65,000 names in a single zone.

	Please define this term.  How many queries per second are you seeing?
