Comment (by shane):

 Just to be clear, we are not building a custom solution for a single user,
 so there ARE no performance requirements, in the sense that "we must serve
 X queries per second on hardware Y" or "we must handle N zones of size M".

 Our main competition in this space is PowerDNS, which has successfully
 worked into DNS hosting markets in Europe.

 According to this presentation, PowerDNS gets 46k queries per second with
 10 million domains:

 www.sanog.org/resources/sanog14/sanog14-devdas-dns-scalability.pdf

 We might not need that level of performance, but the user has seen DoS
 attacks of 10k queries per second, so we *do* need at least that level of
 performance.

 Note that this does not match my previous research, which was from around
 the same time (at my previous job):

 https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-
 operations/2009-February/003556.html

 In any case, 2k queries/second is not enough.
