Some Googling reveals that PowerDNS' OpenDBX backend may allow you to 
link FreeTDS (a client library for Sybase and Microsoft's SQL servers) - 
or at least a development version of OpenDBX may allow this. See 
http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2006-April/003310.html 
for some useful information. This may have made its way into a released 
version of OpenDBX by now, but I don't use it; you'll have to do some 
additional research.

Good luck.
