Hi,

I just thought it would be a good idea to just test it.

JFTR, neither

> queries = success + referral + nxrrset + nxdomain + recursion + failure

nor

seems to be correct

queries = success + referral + nxrrset + nxdomain + failure

seems to be the trick. The documentation is somehwat confusing in it's
wording

success		The number of successful queries made to the server or
		zone. A successful query is defined as query which
		returns a NOERROR response other than a referral
		response

nxrrset		The number of queries which resulted in NOERROR
		responses with no data

IMHO this suggests that nxrrset (NOERROR, ANSWER=0) is part of success,
but according to my numbers it isn't. So success seems to be NOERROR
with ANSWER >= 1.
