Our selling point was the MySQL backend, which to be true, is the mainly reason we use PowerDNS. When we started it was the only DNS software with a stable MySQL backend, and since it has worked well we haven't looked for alternatives. The MySQL backend makes it a whole lot easier for us to write management software, as we don't have to fuddle with file permissions, zone reloading and what not. I don't know if that's something you would work towards/use. -- Erik _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
