rndc stats command

[Ben]

Hi,

As per man page and my understanding rndc stats writes a current named 
statistics into defined file in named.conf

so suppose, if i run rndc stats command and then i take required 
information from named statistics file.

And after some time, ( after 5 minutes or approx.) when i do again rndc 
stats , so that times it provides new statistics.?

My understanding is that while running rndc stats , it writes current 
named statistics to defined file and internally it flush named 
statistics ( which wrote into file as per named.conf )

And while second time run same command , again it append fresh/new named 
statistics to defined fiel, is it so?

Or is there any interval for rndc / named to generate fresh/new statistics.?

Kindly correct me if I am missing something...

Ben
