Allow me to quote from BIND documentation here:

https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#bind-9-statistics

Cache DB RRsets

    Statistics counters related to cache contents, maintained per view.

    The “NXDOMAIN” counter is the number of names that have been cached as 
nonexistent. Counters named for RR types indicate the number of active RRsets 
for each type in the cache database.

    If an RR type name is preceded by an exclamation point (!), it represents 
the number of records in the cache which indicate that the type does not exist 
for a particular name; this is also known as “NXRRSET”.

There is more types like #RRtype and ~RRtype, please see docs to learn more.

What do the lines with the ! mean?
