Building for windows

Hey guys,
  We're working on implementing geographically dispersed  system and we need a geo IP DNS system.  From all the raving reviews for PowerDNS, it seems to be the best choice.  I'm attempting to build it, but I have a few questions.

I downloaded the latest release pdns 2.9.22, but it doesn't have the powerdns.dsw file.  I found this in the trunk of the subversion tree.  Can I just check out this file, or do I need the whole source tree from svn to build on Windows?  If I need the whole tree, where is the tag for 2.9.22 (or an svn revision number)?


We currently use MsSQL as our DB server.  If we create the required table and use the ODBC backend, can our applications update dns records directly in the db for PowerDNS to use?  In other words, as nodes go online and offline for upgrades and maintenance, I'd like to dynamically add and remove records for our "www" subdomain from our own custom applications.  Do I need to signal powerdns in any way to reload records from the db once they're been changed from a different application?

Thanks in advance,

todd
