It's fast and reliable. It hasn't had frequent security issues, although it's no tinydns. I've run it for years under reasonably heavy load (several thousand queries per second) without any problems. Gotchas - major version upgrades seem to take a while to shake out the bugs. And there are some legacy oddities around CNAMEs due to a past history of combing recursive functions with the authoritiative server. With the pipe backend you need to be really careful in your script to only serve the records you think you're serving. Nothing too serious, imo.
