If you're starting fresh, you would be better to use 3.0.11.
Version 2 is end-of-life and no longer supported.

There isn't a module to use a "leveldb" database.

LevelDB is not Berkeley DBM/gdbm. rlm_dbm has been deleted from
the latest code because it's obsolete.

There are modules for SQL (including sqlite), redis, couchbase,
and more which can do what you want. Just not LevelDB at present.

Patches welcome :)

Though I'd be slightly concerned by the word "possibly" in their
statement "Only a single process (possibly multi-threaded) can
access a particular database at a time."
