No.  There's not a lot of data in a record file, and it's generally only
your own authoritative data that's stored on disc (unless you configure
otherwise).  Looked-up records are cached in RAM.

In RAM? I keep my machine on for weeks at a time. How much RAM can it
fill up? And on the rare occasion that I do reboot, is the data lost?

Here's an example record for an entire domain:

  -------- begin example -------

$TTL    86400
@                       IN SOA  localhost root.lan.example.com (
                                        42              ; serial
                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum
                        IN NS           localhost
                        A       192.168.1.2
                        MX      1 mail.lan.example.com.
andy                    A       192.168.1.10
caan                    CNAME   roar
clock                   CNAME   time
default                 CNAME   www
finger                  CNAME   server
ftp                     CNAME   server
gateway                 CNAME   router
gales                   A       192.168.1.2
gonzo                   A       192.168.1.11
hear                    A       192.168.1.3
imap                    CNAME   mail
jabber                  CNAME   server

  -------- end example --------

The last 12 lines are the records for particular hosts in that domain,
and you can see that it's only a tiny bit of data per host.


Looks like it can be made about half it's own size if white space is removed.
