BIND Statistics?

They might not support the BIND stats from a PD or troubleshooting standpoint, but it still works just fine. Just configure named.conf as you would on a normal BIND server. I did a quick test adding:

zone-statistics yes;

to my test.com zone and then kicked off an rndc stats at the command line, which generated named.stats as expected in /var/named/config/namedb:

I am not used to configuring BIND directly. I have used it in the past through a GUI front end. Can you give me some pointers on how to configure BIND for this logging?

I should clarify that you only need to enable at the zone-specific level if you've disabled globally or are not configured globally. Configuring zone specifically just gives you flexibility, but if you want it all, just configure it globally in named.conf.

Thanks I got that to work. Now is there a way to break it down to list how many queries per record?
