Absolutely correct. The "bind" graphs are fed by the LARRD bind-larrd.pl
script, and since noone has complained until now, I was fairly sure it
wasn't being used by anyone.

The "dns" test in Hobbit just tracks the response time of your DNS
server, not the performance metrics that the bind-larrd.pl script
monitors.
