What is dnsServOptCounterSelfReferrals?
This counter tallies DNS queries originating from a resolver on the same host that were forwarded to other nameservers (rather than answered locally). High numbers may indicate the local cache is ineffective or the resolver is misconfigured; operators use this metric to tune DNS caching strategy and identify resolver efficiency problems.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.3.6 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServOptCounterSelfReferrals
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.3.6.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServOptCounterSelfReferrals.1
