Thanks for this post. It is important to exchange experience with such 
technologies.

We are using the same setup (at a smaller scale, because we are just a 
Research Center and serve our own needs), but with PowerDNS/LDAP backend.

I would find it interesting if you could also provide info on:
    1. How do you administer your DNS zones/RRs ?
    2. Which OS are you using on your servers?
    3. Which ldap / BIND9 packages are you using? (Or you compile from 
source?)
    4. Do you use DNSSEC with this setup?

By the way, I find it a bit strange that you are having problems with 
syncrepl. We haven't got such problems (when we configure consumers to 
regularly attempt to reconnect to the provider in case they lose 
connection).

Best Regards,
