Hi Alejantro,

Some additional thoughts:

Even in the state it is now, PowerDNS with LDAP backend (and with any 
other backend) is an efficient production solution while BIND9/DLZ is not.

I would *not* recommend anyone to switch from PowerDNS, if they want any 
working backend except BIND (text files).

See for example tests at: 
http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/perf_tests.html. All backends except 
BIND suck, esp. LDAP.

If you search in the Internet, you'll find ample evidence that BIND / 
DLZ is not a production solution. In terms of performance, it simply is 
unacceptable.
