With some DNS (maradns in our case), maintaining such records at least *seems*
to be no more effort than wudl be required to maintain the same kind and number
of records in an SQL DB (PostgreSQL here).
The advantage is twofold:
- the local DNS can (optionally) also speed up some of the mundane callouts.
- it is a more 'natural' fit to Exim, hence potentially less arcane router
coding needed.
JM2CW, but I certinly wouldn't rule out a DNS on the grounds of more overall work.
