bind 9.8 named_stats parser

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

Hmm, wonder if I should upgrade my stats collector for cacti.

It had bee a while since I looked at my cacti, a I know there was a bunch of 
graphs not working on it....

But, bind stats is still working....against the latest 9.9....despite the 
graph titles of "Bind 9.6"

Before this script, I used to use one that fed off of querylog....that was 
horribly unreliable, though the service collector is still being monitored 
and kept running on my servers.  Possibly because our production cacti sever 
(running on RHEL3) is still trying to keep up (pretty sure I'm not using it 
on newer servers, should make a note to check.

Interesting that for some reason after the 1st of the month time has the time 
on two computers have been wandering back and forth, while my ntp servers 
have been stable.  At first I thought it might related to big poweroutage 
then, but that was the weekend before. So, I wonder what I changed (though I 
still looking for the thing I changed on August 3rd that is fill logs on a 
couple servers.  Plus I need to unbreak my email search.)
