Yes.

We have a system where local scripts on our machines can plugin to the 
net-snmp daemon via "pass_persist" and export a table. I wrote a script 
to present the XML stats to an SNMP table.

We basically graph, total, successful and failed queries; it's more just 
to get an idea of load than anything.
