Dear readers,

I use

PowerDNS recursor 3.3 (C) 2001-2010 PowerDNS.COM BV (Sep 21 2010, 
18:22:46, gcc 4.4.1)

with default settings (this means I have no settings changed!) on

Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

The PowerDNS recursor is primary used for DNS RLBs

b.barracudacentral.org
zen.spamhaus.org
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net

My main question is how I can increase the cache hit %?
