Hello, I realize this is not FreeBSD specific, other than the fact that I'm running BIND on 1/2 dozen FreeBSD 6.2 servers. But I'd like to know if someone knows of a resource to help me interpret what I'm seeing in BIND's debug output file. For example: # rndc trace # rndc querylog # tail /var/named/etc/named/named.run client 192.168.1.21#65193: query: example.com IN AAAA + client 192.168.1.21#53443: query: example.com IN A + client 192.168.1.21#50255: query: example.com IN MX + client 192.168.1.7#59639: query: hostname.example.com IN A + client 192.168.1.7#61740: query: hostname.example.com IN AAAA + client 192.168.1.7#56778: query: hostname.example.com IN A + client 192.168.1.7#64564: query: hostname.example.com IN AAAA + client 192.168.1.19#32776: query: ns2.example.com IN AAAA - client 192.168.1.19#32776: query: ns1.example.com IN AAAA - client 192.168.1.13#39132: query: example.org IN MX -E client 192.168.1.11#32783: query: www.example.com IN A - I trimmed out date/time stamp and it's obvious what the client, IP#port, query: name are for. Also, I get what the: IN A MX SOA PTR flags are. But what do the following characters mean? - + AAAA - AAAA + -E I googled and did a little experimenting with dig but sure would be nice if there's a document out there that describes all these. -- Regards, Doug
