Indeed, these are all very convincing. In revision 3111 you'll find a
version of PowerDNS that can connect to a UNIX socket if you feed one as the
pipe-command.

It also merges your split argument patch.

Revision 3111 can be compiled as tar.gz, rpm or deb from:
https://autotest.powerdns.com/

Can you test?
