What is cacheDnsNumberServers?

Reports how many external DNS server helper processes Squid currently has running. An admin increases this on a busy proxy that's DNS-lookup-bound to parallelize resolution and reduce request latency.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.3.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheDnsNumberServers

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.3.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheDnsNumberServers.1
