Hello, I haven't used Cassandra at all, maybe some of the devs at 1&1 can share if they have any plans or usage stats for it, being the initial developers of the module.
For me it is ok to introduce a new module as well, the old one can be removed afterwards if the new one overtakes it in features. What I actually wanted to discuss is regarding the query for NAT pinging -- with recent versions, there should be a dedicated column for querying natted records. It is no longer relying of flags (and bitwise operations) for this case. Or did you have in mind something else with: """ The module can not be used together with nathelper for nat pings, since the queries don't provide a key, which is required for cassandra.
