Thanks for the replies, I didn’t say BIND wasn’t working or couldn’t handle that load, I just asked about other options.

Circa 2008 two named servers were handing 50k+ ADSL customers, load shared by alternating anycast DNS server addresses on a per- BRAS bases. That included a view selected based on source address, which may increase processing load over a vanilla named configuration.
CPU utilisation on your named server should be the first way you measure your available DNS server/service capacity.
