<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I am currently converting to PDNS from BIND9. I have zone files ranging in the 32+ MB range. Do people suggest using the BIND backend or using the MySQL one? I am looking at doing a SuperMaster that updates 4 slave servers. 2 servers in each location are behind a hardware load balancer.</FONT></DIV>
