Pi-Hole Cache problems

Hi

have a VMware ESXi Host, and a VM where i have installled rasperry-pi and i use it only for Pi-Hole, as in the photo my cache use is never over 15% of the total querys.

i have alredy tried to increase the cache size to 100.000, but nothing changed.

PS: the VM has 4gb of ram and 100gb of hard drive. I have 30 to 40 clients, even if in the photo it shows only 6, because i was trying to understand why it wasn't working correctly

Thank You

What info do you get from

http://<your-pi-hole-ip>/admin/api.php?getCacheInfo

 

and "dig +short chaos txt evictions.bind" on the machine itself?

 

As long as the Pi-hole is blocking requests as it should I wouldn't really worry about its cache. Make sure to read the warning on the page I linked.
