We use it over at blockaid. Very robust. I've been recommending it for a while, but I always get shot down. :p

You would be using the hint method if you went with it.

Subject: Re: [opennic-discuss] Alternatives to BIND?

What do you guys think about PowerDNS?

Seems like a decent resolver.

speaking of bind and the unreasonable demands for ram it really shouldn't need, does anyone here have some suggestions on alternatives to bind?

what other authoritative and resolving nameserver daemons would be suggested if one wanted to avoid using bind?

the usecase i have in mind are very large scale deployments (hundreds of thousands of users) such as that seen in large broadband carrier networks.

i'm thinking more in terms of load balanced server clusters behind a pair of static ip addresses assigned by dhcp, dual stack. the servers must support ipv6, and ideally would be amenable to load balancing.
