tinydns does *not* compile every reply in a cdb, this concept was dropped in 
0.8x because the file went to big.

It compiles a data.cdb from your data-file that is read on every request.
Thats one of the major design goals in tinydns. The data.cdb file should be 
cached by the os, so you should have enough memory to do so (on an dedicated 
machine 16 or 32 mb ram may be enough, anyway). on ____really____ heavy 
loaded dedicated dns-servers with lots of ram a ramdisk may be a godd idea, 
normally tinydns takes no noticeable cpu time.
