Hi,

Due to an not so well coded dns update script my 
/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb.d/DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL.ldb db 
consumes now ~500MB.
So i decided to delete all the Outdated records.
I prepared an list of all the DN's with Base 
DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local and Attribute isDeleted=TRUE.
There are about 80000 outdated entries whom i plan to delete. If I loop 
over each line in my list and run ldbdel -H 
DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL.ldb [DN] it takes about an second 
for each entry so it would take about 22h to delete them all. Is there a 
way i can speed things up?

Thanks in advance
achim~
