Does anyone know exactly how long-lived Founders are? Odo is over a century old; that we know from The Search, but is there a definite limit?

From what I understand there aren't really founders per say and that they are actually one big organism in the great link. So to say they would die of old age would mean the founders as a whole would eventually die, unless they have some self reproduction method or something. But if that is the case what is dieing? As the organism still lives...

Well in the DS9 episode where Sisco and company landed,they`ve encounter their own descendants and Odo was still there,if i remember correctly he was 300 years older.

In Sacrifice of Angles, the Female Changeling says the Founders are "timeless."
Also, the Dominion is millenia old (10,000 years I think), this could mean that the Founders themselves are millenia old.

The Dominion was founded 2,000 year ago.

Actualy it was stated that the Jemhader had been the Dominions first line of defence for 2000 years.

I believe one of Weyoun's lines in "To the Death" (season 4) went like this: "The Dominion has endured for 2,000 years, and will continue to endure long after the Federation has turned into dust"

The 2,000 years claim is also refuted in Odo's conversations with the Female Founder in part two of "The Search".
