I would like to convert my existing bind 9 (ISC Bind dns) from BIND to 
PDNS, I have
PDNS working on my test server(s), complete with replication (MYSQL) as 
well as
importing zones to it, it works.

Main thing, in BIND, typically (I am sure there are other deviations), 
ns1 is a master,
ns2 is a slave, they both answer queries, the main difference, is that 
ns2 is basically
a backup of ns1.  This is probably the most basic setup, depends what 
one wants to do
and how complex a dns they need in their operation.  Don't necessarily 
have to run
it this way, but this is our implementation.

In a nutshell, I want to migrate my ISC DNS to PDNS.
