BIND 9.4.2-P1 and sockets?

[etirado.ext at orange-ftgroup.com]

Hello,

I'm little confused about the new BIND 9.4.2-P1.

I'm working at an ISP, and the servers are caching servers.

I'm looking for some informations on the sockets and recursive clients.

If I'm not wrong , rndc status prints the number of recursive clients.
(queries which we are really recursing for, not answers from the cache.)

For example, in my case, I have :

recursive clients: 387/19900/20000

Simultaneously, I do "netstat -anp | grep named | grep -v ":53" | wc -l"
and the result is : 182.

Since BIND opens up a socket whith a high port to recurse, how can the
numbers be so different?


Thank you for your advices.

Regards,


Emmanuel
