I've got a monitoring script in place that does an rndc stats and parses the output, then graphs it for me nicely.
Yesterday I needed to flush the cache on a number of my servers, and I saw a big spike in queries recorded by the server in the "success" category. The spike was about 40% more than the usual traffic. So, my mental exercise is this ... does BIND not record a cache hit as a success? Assuming my clients are doing say, 1000queries/second, and all 1000 are cache hits, do they show up as a success? If that's the case, and the same clients were doing their usual 1000q/s after I cleared the cache, why would I see a spike in the "successes" immediately afterwards? It's unlikely there were actually 40% more queries that came in there, so I am trying to understand how the stats work. Hopefully someone can set me straight, I'm a little confused right now.
