The BIND server will query the metric processes again after two minutes.

Whenever a query comes in, the bind server will poll all the hosts in the
cluster (to the metric processes). When another query comes in within two
minutes, the BIND server will not poll again, but it will use the rating
values it got the last time. If the next query is after two minutes, the
BIND server will pool the hosts again.

Oswald
