Unbound include file with alot of entry

Unbound
1

Hello,

I’m planning on including a domain list to unbound to block dns requests for domains.

** Domain list sample

local-zone: "sporeformer.cfd" static
local-zone: "pokerdayjob.com" static
local-zone: "oundhertobeconsist.org" static

** unbound conf

include: "/etc/unbound/blocklist.conf"

Currently the list has about 70K entries.

Would like to know if there is a limit on the number of entries which can be loaded by unbound.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @the.0maE, there is no limit other than memory usage.

Hello @Yorgos ,

Thank you for the feed back.

Would it be possible to calculate how much RAM a large file (in my case 70K lines) will need?

Thank you again.

Yes, try and see!
(The amount is highly dependent on the domain names being used)
