PowerDNS does not have limits, but if you have a lot of zones/records, you may 
need to increase the size and/or TTL of the caches in PowerDNS. These are the 
defaults:
# cache-ttl=20
# max-cache-entries=1000000
# negquery-cache-ttl=60
# query-cache-ttl=20
# recursive-cache-ttl=10

Additionally, MySQL may limit you in some ways. For example, the default schema 
uses an INT for the domain ID, and mysql may limit this to something along the 
lines of 2 billion.

Kind regards,
