Now I'm going to sound like an idiot, but here goes...

How would I see incoming and outgoing packets? Do I need to use
something like Ethereal? 

The only log file I can find with dns messages in is /var/log/messages.
This has startup and shutdown messages in and message pairs like:

Jan 28 07:36:09 dns named[13745]: client 82.68.177.94#34976:      
updating zone 'w-sys.co.uk/IN': update failed: 'RRset exists   (value
dependent)' prerequisite not satisfied (NXRRSET)
Jan 28 07:36:09 dns named[13745]: client 82.68.177.94#34650: update
'w-sys.co.uk/IN' denied

Do I need to look somewhere else, or perhaps switch on some level of
debug?
