Well, no. It's basiclly an structure in the backend itself so when PowerDNS 
creates new threads, I hope, that the backend structure is a new one and not a 
copy of another one..

cat luabackend.hh:
class LUABackend : public DNSBackend {
public:
lua_State *lua;
etc...
}

and I have this in the reload function:

void LUABackend::reload() {
if (lua)
lua_close(lua);

lua = lua_open();

etc...
}
