The log lists information about how long the server has been running and how
long since the last reset, and provides a count of the number of queries processed
for each available resource record type.
In the Memory Statistics section, statistics for each size are displayed showing, in
the following order:
1. The total number of times that a buffer of that size was allocated (gets).
2. The number of buffers of that size which have not yet been freed and
currently remain allocated (rem).
3. The number of blocks currently allocated. Note that buffers are allocated in
large groups at a time, and these groups are called blocks (bl).
4. The number of buffers within those blocks that are currently free (ff, which
stands for free fragments).
5.6 Configuring BIND with SET CONFIGURATION Commands
The following sections describe how to manually set up BIND servers by using
SET CONFIGURATION BIND commands.
Important
These commands create a UCX Version 4.x configuration. If you set up
your BIND name server using these commands, you must also use the
CONVERT/CONFIGURATION BIND command to convert the databases
to the BIND 8.1 format. If you omit this step, your changes will not take
effect.
