log file entries

[Stefan Puiu]

The +/- and E were explained here:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.protocols.dns.bind/browse_frm/thread/6dfaf598eb122c9e/81ca0a3ba5aa750e?lnk=gst&q=query+log+%22-E%22&rnum=1#81ca0a3ba5aa750e

As for A/AAAA, that's the query type. In the BIND 9.3 ARM on page 64
you have a list of record types (if we're looking at the same file);
the query type specifies what record the user is interested in.

HTH,
Stefan.
