Largest number of domains that bind can handle?

[CHANGE username to westes]

Let's assume a four processor Intel based Pentium II 500 Mhz server on the
low end and a 60 processor Sun box on the high end.

Assume as much memory as you want, just specify the number.

The acceptance criteria would be that a DNS query should not take more than
maybe 100 ms to answer when the system is under very heavy load for 72
straight hours.
