MaraDNS Large Sites?

Are you going to use MaraDNS as an authoritative or recursive DNS server.

MaraDNS, on a modern computer should easily be able to process this
many authoritative records:

For recursion, this may be pushing MaraDNS.  I'm going to rewrite the
recursive core in a little bit to no longer use threads; until then,
make sure you do workload tests when having a highly loaded recursive
DNS server.
