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.

If "other databases" include Oracle 8i, I might be interested. Might as well put it on a production-ready DBMS.
