[dns-operations] 答复: Limit on Name Servers & their IPs for a sub-domain

[Davey Song(宋林健)]

Hi James,

I once asked the very question years ago. I have some experience and
understanding on that.

The limit of 13 is in people's mind for long time. A typical example is 13
root servers. Although limit of 13 has technically long gong, but it became
a inertia as a operation choice. Other number limit does not change the
situation if you still using UDP to transmit DNS message. 

You may have heard that Yeti DNS project(http://yeti-dns.org ) in which the
scaling issue is one of topic. To your question, I composed a post in Yeti
blog. Hope it will help.

Best regards,
Davey
