I've been using powerdns for quite a while and I've found it to be

mysql.
a list of different backends can be found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerDNS#Backends
I saw bind and bind2, db2, geo, gmysql, gpgsql, goracle, gsqlite,
ldap, odbc, opendbx, pipe and xdb. Pipe is interesting because you
can write a backend in anything that talks to anything. There is
documentation and examples on the website. The "g" stands for
generic.
I've been using poweradmin for management.
We've been using it as well in what I would consider a very small
setup: 150 domains, most with almost no traffic to speak of, but 3 or
4 with decent traffic (the high traffic ones serving over 50k end-user
CPE for VoIP traffic with very short TTLs ). The MySQL back-end
really is a claim to fame - it makes administration really easy to
integrate into whatever you want.
We have also been using poweradmin for basic management for things not
under programmatic MySQL management. It's basic and a bit kludgy, but
definitely adequate, and easy enough to hack into your own idea of
what it should be.
