[Pdns-users] different type of replication

[Aki Tuomi]

It really all depends on your use case. 

You probably do not want native replication if you need to replicate

 - with other than same DNS product
 - with 3rd parties
 - over some unreliable WAN links

or if you cannot (for some reason) establish the connections required for
native replication, such as corporate policy or something silly like that.
