bind9-logging-config.txt

//bind9 logging stanza with dynamic severity that can be controlled via rndc
//
//To debug something, issue "rndc trace 99" and run your troublesome query.
//This will generate extremely verbose logs, so as soon as you capture the event, 
//run "rndc notrace" to return to standard non-verbose logging. Then copy and
//examine the log files at your leisure.
