You could try extending the cache size and TTL, but I am not sure how
effective that will be in this situation.
First thing is as its an RBL, do you really want to cache entries for
a
long time? After an entry has been removed from a blacklist (eg. in
the
case of a legit mail server sending out spam, then getting removed)
it
will take a longer period of time before that server is able to send
you
mail again.
With mail servers you do get a large amount of connections from
people
trying to blast spam, that means you will have a large amount of
queries
for random IP's being done which isn't very effective for a cache -
its
there to help with look ups of the same thing.
You should be able to generate some stats from your mail logs to
check
how many connections you have from different IP's and work out a
reasonable estimate of the cache effectiveness.
Ok looks like you are right.

and these are the most often.
I have 697 only once connected.
So it looks like I must life with the 8% cache hits.
Thanks for your time and infos.

Dear readers,
I use
PowerDNS recursor 3.3 (C) 2001-2010 PowerDNS.COM BV (Sep 21 2010,
18:22:46, gcc 4.4.1)
with default settings (this means I have no settings changed!) on
Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
The PowerDNS recursor is primary used for DNS RLBs
b.barracudacentral.org
zen.spamhaus.org
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net
My main question is how I can increase the cache hit %?
