We've been using it as well in what I would consider a very small  
setup: 150 domains, most with almost no traffic to speak of, but 3 or  
4 with decent traffic (the high traffic ones serving over 50k end-user  
CPE for VoIP traffic  with very short TTLs ).  The MySQL back-end  
really is a claim to fame - it makes administration really easy to  
integrate into whatever you want.

We have also been using poweradmin for basic management for things not  
under programmatic MySQL management.  It's basic and a bit kludgy, but  
definitely adequate, and easy enough to hack into your own idea of  
what it should be.
