Have you tried running DNS on your own NetView server so that you don't
have the performance hit of a large /etc/hosts file?

You would need a hostname to resolve to a single IP address...but all
addresses to resolve back to a single hostname.   This would help your CPU
usage quite a bit.   The administrative work would not be unlike what you
are already doing for your /etc/hosts file.

Kind regards,
