Monitoring unbound?

OK.

Allow me to follow a tangent, and get up to ride a hobby horse of
mine...  Our unbound.conf has

  # don't zero stats on read(!)
  statistics-cumulative: yes

It is beyond me why anyone would have it any other way.

What if you wanted to have two distinct monitoring setups looking
at the same unbound instance?  A counter is a counter!

Maybe I'm too much influenced by dealing with SNMP in other parts
of my work (but I hope not).
