Bind9 gives you plenty of data you can monitor. Assuming that rndc is
set up correctly, and your bind-directory is set to /var/cache/bind, the
following not-so-beautiful command sequence gives you the number of
successfully answered queries:

,--
| /usr/sbin/rndc stats
| tail -7 /var/cache/bind/named.stats | head -1 | cut -d" " -f2
`--

It is quite straightforward to integrate this data into a monitoring
environment. Also out the other values in named.stats!

Hope this helps

Oliver
