Thanks for your kind offer of information. I can (and will) update the rrd to use this, but can't test it any longer as I have no installation to try it on. Does it maintain the counters between runs, or only since startup? >The statistics-file in question is of the format >+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1056027600) >success 24373098 >referral 123288 >nxrrset 2534924 >nxdomain 1513560 >recursion 25508236 >failure 11206355 >--- Statistics Dump --- (1056027600) >The numbers listed after success, referral, etc are all counters, and >the number in parenthesis on the "Statistics Dump" line is the time at >which the stat dump happened. >BIND8 writes statistics to the standard named log, assuming that you've >configured your logging options correctly.

Since people ought to be updating to bind9, and since I can't test either version, I'm disinclined to include bind8. >Both of those are fairly lightweight, and shouldn't cause any noticable >impact on your nameservers.
