I think that's the problem, PDNS expects the database connection to stay 
open at all times (as far as I know), maybe you can migrate to the generic 
SQLite backend when 2.9.12 is released?

Documentation is already available here: 
http://doc.powerdns.com/gsqlite.html

Importing your current data should be as simple as exporting your powerdns 
database from MySQL and using:
cat myexport.sql | sqlite powerdns.sqlite
