I submitted a bug on this a while back:

http://wiki.powerdns.com/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi/ticket/125

And have been most recently lobbying (annoyingly at this point
probably) for a fix, but demand drives change, and there isn't much
demand to fix this bug yet.

If there was a voting system for bugs, then I think some people would
vote for this bug to be fixed, but as it stands maybe the best way to
vote for a fix is to put a "me too" entry on the open ticket; that or
fix it yourself, which I think is easier said then done as most likely
the bug is in the DB backend code as it seems to be too greedy in what
it grabs.
