PowerDNS domains do not expire like Bind domains do, so the Super
Master setup will work great for importing everything into PowerDNS
the first time, but after that domains will expire on the Bind side,
but never leave the PowerDNS side.

We did a Bind to PowerDNS migration and I found the best thing to do
was to put hooks into your existing add/remove domain management
system for adding and removing domains to/from the PowerDNS back-end
and using notifies to signal changes in the zone on the master.
