Hi Bind Users, Good day. I wish to know what is the industry standard when dealing with the "TOTAL QPS" and how do we calculate this with BIND?
My understanding of "QPS" is the queries that a DNS server has received regardless if it was dealt with a successful response, nxdomain or timed-out due to lame. But is there a best practice in calculating it from the named stats? Can the dynamic updates, notify and such be considered as queries? There are several monitoring systems, load balancers and the like that monitors Total QPS from a DNS server registered in the system. I wish to create an in-house script to calculate the same way. I got a two instances (with 1 minute differential) sampling of rndc stats of two DNS caching servers. Thank you.
