Can anyone tell me if there is a realistic limit to the number of lines
I have in my access [access.db] file? I am sure that the more lines I
have the more resources it takes, but I am curious if anyone can say
that they have hundreds of lines or more or if there is a good number to
stop at.

I seem to have 3169 lines at present, and I haven't yet thought of
stopping. (Some of these lines are generated by cidrexpand -- I have
around 690 non-comment lines before cidrexpand is run).
I did move to a dbm file instead of nis+, because of the
size. As far as I know, dbm can handle over 100,000 lines without
any problems, and hash should be able to handle over 100,000,000
lines (if your disk is big enough).

I've got 1831 "553" entries before cidrexpand, 2026 lines overall. 3455
"553" entries after cidrexpand, 3650 overall. Seems to be working fine
for me. I've been pleased.
