A logging question

[Sumit Mehrotra]

Hi Users

I have the following configuration in the named.conf file, for logging of messages :
logging{
        channel my_syslog{
                syslog daemon;
                severity info;
        };
        channel my_file {
                file "named.log";
                severity dynamic;
        };
//      category default{null; };
        category statistics {my_syslog; my_file; };
        category packet {my_file; };
        category queries {my_file; };
};                         

The idea is to log packet and queries info into the named.log file.
While I get the queries in the named.log file, I do not get the packet info int he same file, I get it in the named.run file. Any idea why? ( The debug level is 1)

If I remove the comments from the default(null) category, I do not get the packet info at all.

I would also like to log the A type responses to the logs . Is there a way(a category) to do that in the current version (BIND Version 8.2.2 patchlevel 7 ) or do I have to hack some code for it?

Thanks
