OK.<br>
<br>
Allow me to follow a tangent, and get up to ride a hobby horse of<br>
mine... Our unbound.conf has<br>
<br>
# don't zero stats on read(!)<br>
statistics-cumulative: yes<br>
<br>
It is beyond me why anyone would have it any other way.<br>
<br>
What if you wanted to have two distinct monitoring setups looking<br>
at the same unbound instance? A counter is a counter!<br>
<br>
Maybe I'm too much influenced by dealing with SNMP in other parts<br>
of my work (but I hope not).<br>
