Jeremy,

before delving into this further, can you check if your Cacti calculations
are compliant with the following tidbit from
http://doc.powerdns.com/recursor-stats.html :

"It should be noted that answers0-1 + answers1-10 + answers10-100 +
answers100-1000 + packetcache-hits + over-capacity-drops = questions."

In addition, you might want to look at the rrd metrics. In short, if
packetcache-hits are not counted as cache hits, the total cache hitrate will
be wrong.

Thanks.
