We choose to run PowerDNS after a couple of tests wich went very well.. We
handle at times about 356 queries a sec on one DNS server alone..The
response time is stunning, even under heavy load.. We also run the MySQL
backend, but we do not use mysql-replication, nor a master/slave concept..
Both nameservers act as a primary server, and the replication is taken care
of by a system we've made our selves, so i cant really tell you much about
how good replica works..

There is little need for reloading and/or restart, since all changes take
effect instantly.. And it doesnt take more than 15-20 seconds to shutdown or
startup :)

I must say that all in all we found powerdns really impressive :)
