We have lots of Sun Netra AC200's running Solaris 8 and they all have 2 
forward zones and 2 reverse zones that are larger than 15,000 records. 
Some of them have a zone that exceeds 55,000 records. No problems. This 
is with BIND 9, though. I also have an older box (Ultra 2) running 
Solaris 2.5.1 and BIND 8, with a couple of zones that exceed 67,000 
entries. Also no problems.
