What is cacheDnsRequests?
Counts the total number of DNS requests Squid has sent to its configured external DNS server(s). An admin uses it as the top-line indicator of how much DNS load the proxy is generating.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.3.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheDnsRequests
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.3.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheDnsRequests.1
