Depends on specifically how you are going to be using your PowerDNS
setup. If it is going to be receiving AXFRs, you'll want to use InnoDB
tables instead as the transactional features are used while handling
AXFRs to rollback in case of a failure during the transfer. However,
these days I can't see any real reason why you wouldn't be able to use
InnoDB, as (at most) it's a runtime configuration option to enable it in
mysqld.
