Hi , guys after reading some documentation about setting my master / slave dns cache cluster, I stil have some doubts. Im setting a master / slave dns cache cluster to provide dns service to internal users on my company having redundancy.

Here the questions:

1)If Im not authoritative for any domain, then it is not necessary to declare any zone ? 2)If I dont declare any zone , master and slave configuration are identical for a dns cache server?
3)Does it have any drawbacks no declaring any zone file in the long term?

About statistics:
Most important parameters to check periodically to confirm proper function and good performace. I would like to write a parser script so I can plot statistics on cacti but can not find any docs about the statistics dump output for ver 9.8.2.
So; Following this is what I understand:
