Observium works fantastically with every piece of network hardware I've thrown at it. It works with my ESXi hosts. It works with my NAS4Free hosts. It works with our Arista switches, it even picks up BGP adjacency with no convoluted configuration. It works with my DD-WRT-based router. It event works with my crappy NetGear switch. I bet it will work just fine with the ZyXel that's on the way. Its *way* more polished than multi-million dollar software I used at previous employers and vastly superior. I just don't see Bind anywhere on the hardware compatibility list.

Why on earth would anyone log DNS requests?
Interesting question on a monitoring forum.
Reasons include capacity planning, troubleshooting (especially important with DNSSEC), tracking top domains, top RR types, top requesters, v4/v6 breakdown, and those are only the ones I can think of offhand.
There are certainly other ways to get some of this, such as DNS MIB extensions or the excellent dnstop tool, but logs can be useful too, especially where details are essential.
