These scripts generate a named.conf file with an arbitrary number of small zones, for testing startup performance. To generate a test server with 1000 zones each of which contains 5 A records, run: $ sh setup.sh 1000 5 > named.conf Zones are generated with random names, and the zone files are created in the subdirectory "zones". Or, to generate a test server with 100 zones which all load from the same generic file (smallzone.db): $ sh setup.sh -s 100 > named.conf The "number of records" argument is ignored if -s is used.
