Only the DNS load. which one is being heavily used for DNS resolving.

Maybe "rndc stats" would be helpful. I haven't looked at the output, but it's the only command I recall immediately that gives DNS specific information.

Shalom,

Honestly top on all three boxes should be good enough for this.

I run quite a few DNS servers and the load factor on them from DNS is nearly non-existant.

BIND is a pretty sensitive product to set up but is quite easy to make secure and when you limit the universe of who can use the servers for what (stop recursive lookups and such) you will find the systems have lots of spare capacity for other good things.

Re: Find load on the HPUX DNS servers

Thanks all,

I was asked to find among the 3, which is used mostly for resolvoing ( there are no other apps on this. ONLY DNS)
for eg:
server dns1: 30%
server dns2: 10%
server dns3: 5%
