Hey

So I know about direct slave but I don't want to run bind locally (reduce attack surface and memory usage).

If I get a few VPS servers with DDoS protection and use the $24/yr personal licence can this licence sync 1000s of DNS from other DA servers or is this against the terms?
 
You don't need DA for this. Have your real DNS server pull the zones over ssh and then write the named.conf file based on the zones that were pulled.
 
The license says it is limited to 10 domains, not sure if Multi server setup is an exception (and probably what you're asking), maybe someone knows or DA can clarify, or you could contact their sales if they don't read this topic (and if so please report back here so other readers know as well).

Alternatively you could maybe still use DirectSlave, but then close off bind ports on the main box, in the firewall/iptables for the public. Not entirely what you're asking but could be a next best thing; for the outside world there would not really be a difference.
 
It works fine for DNS only as a slave server. I use it for that purpose and have many domains....
