Logging bad queries in Bind 8

[Master Host]

Try the below... and see how that works. (your going to have to change the 
severity level to match what you want to do)

If that doesn't work you may want to play with syslog's config file.. in 
/etc/syslog.conf


logging {
channel specific_debug_level {
              file "foo";
              severity debug 3;
          };
};
