[Pdns-users] PowerDNS performance compared to other nameservers

I have a couple of questions since I'm about to switch from BIND to
PowerDNS:

	1. Which database scheme are you using?
	2. Which MySQL version are you using?
	3. Which MySQL table type?
	4. What about secondary NS - how did you implement that?
	5. Would you mind sending me your PowerDNS configuration?

Thanks for your answers in advance.


Cheers,

Markus
