What is dnsResBadResponses?

This read-only counter tracks how many times this particular DNS host responded, but the response was incorrect or malformed. It is distinct from dnsResTimeouts, which covers no response at all. Admins treat a rising value here as a sign this DNS server itself is misbehaving, rather than just being slow or unreachable.
