Re: bind verbose logging

I'll send over some info tomorrow.  Shoot me a reminder if you don't
get it by the later afternoon.

I wouldn't really call it a schema...it's just a simple field
extraction bash script that then generates the sql inserts.  Like I
said...quick and dirty.

Afte coding it from scratch, I'm starting to like the idea of using
Splunk as a front-end to analyze the logs.  You may want to look at
using that rather than coding one by hand.  The free version can index
500 megs a day...which is a *lot* of queries.

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for.

Mike, sure I wouldn't mind schema ideas.

In this log line, what is -EDC? I've also noticed +, -, -E, and -ED
but I have no Idea what they are (called/represent).

08-May-2013 08:04:49.751 client 1.2.3.4#48747 (ns2.example.com):
query: ns2.example.com IN AAAA -EDC (1.2.3.4)

Also, I'm writing a parser and we're only loging 'queries' but if
someone has examples / schemas for the other categories, I'd like to
integrate that.

"+EDC on a query indicates that it is:

- Recursive (+) - it has come from a client or a server that is
forwarding queries to your server
- The sender is using EDNS0 (using larger UDP packet sizes and
signalling the size that can be accepted)
- The sender understands DNSSEC (D) - this is a request to your server
to include any DNSSEC material associated with answer in the query reply.
- DNSSEC validation checking is disabled (C) - the sender wants the
answer anyway, even if the validation checks fail."
