[bind10-dev] proposed change for configuring sqlite3 DB in the "from build" mode

[Jerry Scharf]

Jinmei,

I am a bit confused by this

In my design for the command tool, I assumed that the choice of the 
database for auth server is a run time configuration command rather than 
a compiled in value. I was also told by Shane that this is configurable 
by zone rather than as a whole (which makes complete sense.)

Is this something different than the per zone db config?

thanks,
jerry
