Bhavin,

We're running 300k+ zones on PowerDNS. Rick pointed out some RR's missing,
but that is the only drawback that I see.
We have been able to run more QPS (and with the fewest drops) on PDNS than
on any other nameserver daemon (djbdns, btw, rated the lowest).

With regards to where the project is going, it is fully up to those who
participate.

Regards,
Nikolaj
