I might point out that BIND version 9 comes with a Postgres/SQL sample "simple database interface" driver that permits the storage of DNS zone data in a Postgres/SQL database. Zone data is extracted from the database per query (the data does not need to be extracted and BIND reloaded). If the DNS load is too high to support SQL queries on a per-DNS query basis, using a stealth primary would most likely work.
I'll take a look at that. It might be a good idea to make it modular, if it isn't already modular[0], so that people could create "plugins" that work with other databases. Personally, I'm going to see how much work is involved in porting the code to MySQL, since I don't use Postgres. [0] I imagine the chances are good that it's already modular, but I haven't really had a chance to look at Bind 9 yet. I have to get it installed on a development box and do a little testing before I am comfortable enough to do anything with it. -- Steven J.
