	Bill,
	       what point are you trying to make?  You register
	(delegate) both forward and reverse zones.  Bind will work,
	provided you have the resources to do it, with upto 2^24-1
	(~16M) zone statements in named.conf.

	We have reports back from sites running +100k zones in
	production.  Someone also ran up a million zone configuration.
	It was a little slow to load but with a bit of source tuning
	it came back to a reasonable time.
	
	Mark
