|  - Single instance of PowerDNS running - /etc/init.d/pdns start
|  - Responds to queries properly. If ns10.dns.com is not authoritative

What is the big deal with all the addresses and such? Why not run a
single instance for all domains? I wouldn't even dare to guess the rate
of domains per nameserver on a global scale. Why can't you do so as well?

I though pdns was about simplicity. This is making things complex
without any benefit but with the added burden of IP adresses and such to
maintain.

It isn't wrong but it seems illogical to me to make things this complex.
