- RD bit is not specific to queries (requests of opcode 0), but
- <quote>qryrecursion</quote> is limited to queries because RD bit is
- meaningless for the other opcodes and they are passed to another
- BIND 10 module such as <command>b10-ddns</command>.
+ The <quote>qryrecursion</quote> counter is limited to queries
+ (requests of opcode 0) even though the RD bit is not specific
+ to queries. In practice, this bit is generally just ignored for
+ other types of requests, while DNS servers behave differently
+ for queries depending on this bit. It is also known that
+ some authoritative-only servers receive a non negligible
+ number of queries with the RD bit being set, so it would be
+ of particular interest to have a specific counters for such
+ requests.
