To get statistics//http://godfatherhost.com/cloud/index.html information about query numbers that Bind has served you need to add next line to configuration file:

statistics-file “/var/stats/named.stats”;

It should be added in a ‘global’ options statement. After that you need to restart Bind and run:

rndc stats

Bind will dump statistics to this file. Note that if you// http://godfatherhost.com/dedicated/index.html run Bind chrooted it will be in a chroot filesystem.

[root@playground ~]# cat /var/named/var/stats/named.stats
