The above page claims that NSD has a limit of 512 IP addresses.

Is this true?

There is a compile time option --with-max-ips=

I've raised it to 1024 for nsd-3.2.17 in the fedora/epel/rhel/centos
builds, but those are still going through the update process.

Is there a necessity for such low limits?

How high can I take it with a custom compile of the latest NSD code?

Out of curiosity: What are the occasions/use cases in which you want to have one single instance of NSD listen to more than 1k interfaces?
