There's probably only 20 machines that use it though, so it's not real heavily loaded. (The machine also handles our mail and web site, neither of which is real high volume either, but the machine also isn't exactly tasked: 1:50PM up 11 days, 22:35, 1 user, load averages: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00). The machine transfers all of the msu.edu domain, so it typically is running around 6 megs of memory at any given time. Course, it is possible to overload a name server. The reason I set this machine up to do this was because the campus name servers were unusable at times because of the load they were getting. Couldn't tell you what they were running there though, although I seem to recall that the replacement machines they got were pc's running freebsd (no idea what level of pc though).
