	That's nothing.  I could probably support that on a 486 running 
FreeBSD with 4MB of RAM.

	More heavily used nameservers that I've seen running 
commodity-grade OSes on older platforms have easily sustained 
hundreds of DNS queries per second.  Higher-end servers that I've 
seen have been able to sustain 2000 queries per second per copy of 
BIND (each copy of BIND running on a dedicated processor, with four 
processors in the machine).  The highest published benchmarks I know 
of come from Rick Jones, where he's tuned BIND to handle 12,000 
queries per second or more.
