Sounds just like the kind of half-crazy stuff NTNU students do when you give them some time to tinker. I heard a story from Samfundet where they were displeased with the speed of their key/value database for some payment processing stuff, so they replaced it with BIND.

Even though the thing is old, I'm guessing the uptime is not that impressive?

Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested in seeing how they did it

He's probably refering to itkacl, which we use for authorization/acls (not payments). The README (and the code) can be found here: https://git.sesse.net/?p=itkacl;a=blob;f=README;h=3dcb059f30...
