Minimum platform required for DNS serving

EDIT: anyone know how I can move this to the "Tech/Sec" area. That was my intended target.

<<MOD NOTE: Done!>>

Does know if this box would handle the requirements for dns serving.

Sun Sparc 2
256 MB ram
8 GB hd

Its an old box I have laying around and would like to us it as my secondary dns server instead of buying a new Sun Fire V100 box. Other than minimul http access for web-based zone administration and outbound e-mail alerts, the only box will be dedicated to dns.

Currently have just over 1000 zone files, adding 40-50 per month.

Thanks for the help,

Bob

PS: Alternatively, if this box won't cut it, can anyone reccomend an inexpensive 1u box for the job? A SunFire V100 with 512MB ram and two 40GB drives will cost me about $1300. I really don't want to spend that much for a secondary box that won't be actively generating profit.
