I am not familiar with PowerDNS's pricing model, but we tested it fairly extensively with large zones (millions of records) and many zones (millions of zones) and it just plain rocked. It blew BIND out of the water. The developers were very accessible and amenable to any changes we required. The architecture was flexible (plug in all sorts of different backends: mysql/berkeleyDB/LDAP/etc... In the end, we did not land the contract for the project which would need such scale, but if we ever have such a need in the future, we will be using PowerDNS. thanks, -joe
