For dnset: entries/wildcards.  that's counts, number of simple
entries in the dataset and number of wildcards (*.xxx).

Count of entries (different IP addresses).

Count of different RRs.

Counts again.  Ip4set implemeted as 4 arrays, one for each: /32, /24, /16
and /8 ranges.  So here you've 7100 individual IP addresses listed, 136 /24
networks and so on.  34 /8 networks is rather large amount (it's 34 * 2^24 =
570 425 344 individual IP addresses).
