Number of dnsserver's

While on the subject of dnsserver's, are there any guidelines relating
how many you should have and the number of hits per day?

The config file recommends 10 for a 'large' server. I currently use 10
and get about 200,000 hits per day. Should I increase this at 0.5 million,
1 million etc?

Many thanks,

Pete.
