 Yes, but at what point do the performance issues start?

I was reading through this forum discussing around 50 million records on a domain (assuming we get to a point where a successful lightnin wallet provider/implementation gets to at least 50 million users) .

 i dunno.  @matt do you know? this google article says most domains only allow a max of 49 TXT records. won't Phoenix have a problem once too many addresses are created on their domain?

 If Acinq is using AWS for their implementation they can always ask for an increase on the resource limit. https://i.nostr.build/DHrNj4nC8GrzluTW.jpg 
 There’s absolutely no limit. Some hosting providers add arbitrary limits but even the entire Bitcoin header tree in DNS records running in BIND is like 1G of memory…

 Any tutorials for beginners? 
 For what? Running bind? 
 Yep. 
 Don’t have a specific one to recommend, but googling “bind authorative server” should turn things up. 
 Thank you. 🙏🏿 
 I have seen no performance issues hosting a few million records on RPis for https://bitcoinheaders.net/

But, BIP 353 does contemplate doing multiple users in a single wildcard record.
