Those are the only ones I'm aware of as well.

The closest thing to documentation I have is the commetns in
lib/dns/include/dns/db.h, which documents the API, but not
as well as one might hope.

The same methods are used in the regular BIND datatbase implementations -
rbtdb.c, ecdb.c, sdb.c, sdlz.c - so you might be able to glean some idea of
their usage from comparisons.

I'm not sure I've understotod the question. You mean the memory context
you pass in when you load the dyndb library? How is it causing a leak?
