[Pdns-users] Can pdns (with ldap backend) be a master of BIND9 slave?

  Norbert sent the following reply, obviously off-list, so I am 
forwarding this to the list:

LDAP doesn't support such a thing up to now.

If you need to delegate subdomains, you have to use the "simple" method.
Using tree isn't possible in this case due to some constraints.
