DNS for 1000+ sites
I have a rather unique problem and am hoping someone can suggest a fix.
I had a customer come to me a while ago wanting to set up a site selling domain names - as part of it he wanted me to add all the domains he had for sale onto our DNS server so that they would all point at one IP address, on there was a 'This domain is for sale' type page that forwarded to their proper site.
The problem is that as his business has grown so have the number of domains, over 1500 now, all being served by our DNS server.
The real kicker is that this guy is buying the domains that were previously owned as they become available - this results in loads of calls to the DNS server from people trying to reach or send mail to the domains believing that they are still the old sites ( hope you're still following me
)We're now getting a ridiculous number of DNS queries (around 100.000 per day) - christ knows what bandwidth this is using up apart from the load on the server.
Question is - does anyone know a way I can arrange things differently ?
Any ideas appreciated . . .
