multilog is a general-purpose tool with much more powerful filtering
than BIND's internal logging. You can use it to monitor all queries
involving a selected host, for example.

Does it surprise you that a general-purpose tool can solve DNS-specific
problems better than a monolithic DNS implementation? Go read Gancarz's
``The UNIX Philosophy'' to understand why.
