How to Spec Hardware

[ns at linuxplanet.nu]

What are the calculations involved in trying to spec a Solaris box for an 
Internet name server, assumming 1000 client users will initially be using it to 
resolve Internet names.

How does one know the memory and CPU speed required.  Most people are of the 
opinon that DNS bind does require a high spec, however I have seen bind die due 
to demand, although the daemon didn't infact die, but it stoped resolving 
names, I have had to restart the daemon a couple of time in the last 6 months, 
I am convinced it was due to lack of resource on the server.
