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.
Why would someone who believes any of the above (rather than invoking them as excuses) to be important be running their DNS off a tiny embedded device with no space for logging?
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.
You seem to be trying to invent a problem and then trying to blame us for it.
Beware that I have no tolerance for such time wasting nonsense.
