[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq caching stats meaning

[Olivier Mauras]

Hello,

I plan to deploy dnsmasq on a medium sized network as primary caching 
DNS for both workstations and servers - 1500 workstations / 600 servers.
I'm currently testing it on a test subnet with around 50 workstations 
and have been wondering about the cache stats.

dnsmasq[27357]: time 1372247969
dnsmasq[27357]: cache size 2000, 0/65220 cache insertions re-used 
unexpired cache entries.
dnsmasq[27357]: queries forwarded 22019, queries answered locally 11238
dnsmasq[27357]: server xx.xx.xx.164#53: queries sent 5812, retried or 
failed 0
dnsmasq[27357]: server xx.xx.xx.165#53: queries sent 5812, retried or 
failed 0
dnsmasq[27357]: server xx.xx.xx.114#53: queries sent 16201, retried or 
failed 30
dnsmasq[27357]: server xx.xx.xx.115#53: queries sent 925, retried or 
failed 10

What exactly means "0/65220 cache insertions re-used unexpired cache 
entries"??


Thanks,
-O.
