fatal error: Could not set up local zones

[Chris Narkiewicz]

Try to minimize number of zones. For 156550 entries you'll need around 
450MB of RAM.

I had similar problem and solved it by creating transparent zones per TLD:

It looks like zones require a lot of ram, but local-data entries
are packed tightly.

Best regards,
