[dns-operations] host.txt max size

[Irena Damsky]

And yet it doesn't give you an indication of the file size that will make
the machine unstable / resolution time per domain take forever.

I am looking for a solution that can be implemented on a windows machine
and will not change the dns resolver setup, nor can I create a local server
instance in this particular case.
