Hi,
Can anyone point me to where I can get an explanation of the named statistics on the internet. I couldnt find much. The reason being in my stats, the failuers are showing 8483727, is that normal. People are not complaing about my DNS, and my Name server is running fine. Is it normal to have so many failure's in their stats.
------ +++ Statistics Dump +++ (1098648000) success 42850434 referral 188302 nxrrset 7775566 nxdomain 24355129 recursion 12157886 failure 8483727 --- Statistics Dump --- (1098648000) ------
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Keith

See the BIND Administrators Reference Manual, Chapter 6, point 6.2.14.15.
Quoting:
The statistics dump begins with the line +++ Statistics Dump +++ (973798949), where the number in parentheses is a standard Unix-style timestamp, measured as seconds since January 1, 1970.

<snip a bit> failure
The number of queries which resulted in a failure response other than those above.
I believe that the number of failures is not all that big. I suggest logging queries and seeing which queries fail. I would say that a large number of those would be missing reverse DNS, and RFC 1918 DNS, and Windows hosts trying to lookup wierd domains.
