Yes I know the db data the zone file requests is huge... but what if there was a mysql server on each zone server... that way there is a copy of the database locally, no network based copying... and changes to the database are replicated to all the zone servers to the world server and back again, to sync up the data every 5 minutes or something... and if only the changed data is synced that keeps traffic to a minimum... This is how win2K handles active directory shares between domain controllers, it can't have every user authenticating and such back to a single server, the WAN traffic would be huge... so it has local domain controllers for each lan, and these sync up the changed data with one another every once in a while... The active directory can sometimes be as big as 50-100meg but it replicates fine over dialup with no real big performance hits... if microsoft can do it I am sure we can at least make a stab at it?
