Hi All,

I have one question and wonder if anyone has answer for, and here is the 
context first.

I have been using PowerDNS, without database backend but just plain bind 
db text files.

I noticed my powerdns server setup is exceptionally fast when I 
benchmark, in case for records anyone is interested, you can check 
results out here:-

I wondered if I switch to DB, would it hinder performance? This my 
question, Does database like mysql and ldap get dns entries get cached 
and in which format? is it like bind format in db text files?

Looking forward.

With thanks.

Zak.
