Sizing and Slave Servers in BIND 8

Hi,

I'm trying to do some benchmarking with DNS (BIND 8.1.2 and 8.2.X) Is
there a hard coded limit or practical limit to the number of slave
servers hanging off one master? In other words how many is too many? Or
would it be a function of the number of RRs served by the master and the
refresh interval/notify feature. If anyone has done this before or has
any experience with this I'd appreciate some feedback.

Thanks,
