Why would there be any limit? The master doesn't need to keep track of 
slaves, it just responds to queries from them.

The zone transfer queries they make have a little more overhead than 
"normal" queries, but they don't happen very often (only when the zone 
changes). To avoid all slaves hammering the master at the same time, 
NOTIFY messages are staggered after a change is loaded.
