bind + mysql

[Forrest Aldrich]

Over time, there has been enough talk about this, that I wonder if it 
wouldn't be worthwhile to form a separate project, and have people contribute.

There are many design issues involved here (and possibly 
scalability/performance).  The schema being one of them, and whether to use 
one or more databases, etc. etc.

Before BIND-9 hooks, there was the sql-bind project, which ceased.  Some 
experience from that might be worth looking at.

I wonder how MySQL would peform in a high I/O situation like this.    I 
know of a company that began using MySQL (a while ago) in radius 
transactions, but eventually they had to go with Oracle, due to performance 
reasons.  That may not be an issue now, with the newer hardware and 
features of MySQL.
