Hi James,

I believe the logging of stats is defined in options.h.  Here is some
information to help you decipher some of the stats references:

NSTATS in BIND:

The first number after NSTATS is the current time, the second number is the
boot time. The next entries are the standard resource records (see the bind
manual in /usr/doc/net/bind). The XSTATS line also contains the current time
and the boot time. The entries following the time values are [from ns_stats.c]:

   RR          -     sent us an answer
   RIQ         -     sent us an inverse query
