Has anyone created a map between Bind8 and Bind9 configurations with
respect to logging categories?
I am trying to move recursive servers from 8.4.7 to 9.3.1 and I am
noting some differences.
Section 6.2.10 of the ARM lists all the categories, many of the Bind8
categories don't
look like the have an equivalent. Some look like they have been renamed..
Example db -> database.

*default*
The default category defines the logging options for those categories
where no specific configuration has been defined.
*general*
The catch-all. Many things still aren't classified into categories, and
they all end up here.
*database*
Messages relating to the databases used internally by the name server to
store zone and cache data.
*security*
Approval and denial of requests.
*config*
Configuration file parsing and processing.
*resolver*
DNS resolution, such as the recursive lookups performed on behalf of
clients by a caching name server.
*xfer-in*
Zone transfers the server is receiving.
*xfer-out*
Zone transfers the server is sending.
*notify*
The NOTIFY protocol.
*client*
Processing of client requests.
*unmatched*
Messages that named was unable to determine the class of or for which
there was no matching *view*. A one line summary is also logged to the
*client* category. This category is best sent to a file or stderr, by
default it is sent to the *null* channel.
*network*
Network operations.
*update*
Dynamic updates.
*queries*
Queries. Using the category *queries* will enable query logging.
*dispatch*
Dispatching of incoming packets to the server modules where they are to
be processed.
*dnssec*
DNSSEC and TSIG protocol processing.
*lame-servers*
Lame servers. These are misconfigurations in remote servers, discovered
by BIND 9 when trying to query those servers during resolution.
*delegation-only*
Delegation only. Logs queries that have have been forced to NXDOMAIN as
the result of a delegation-only zone or a *delegation-only* in a stub or
forward zone declartation.
