logging forwarding reqs

[Jonathan Reed]

Hey all,

I've setup bind9 to be a forwarder only. However I'm not understanding how
to confirm requests for queries are being sent through to the forwarded dns
servers. Even running in debug mode, I can see the req, but I dont see
anything in the debug msg that says its been forwarded on to any of my
forwarders.


named.conf.options:

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

  forward only;
  forwarders {
          172.20.4.1;
          172.20.4.3;
          172.20.4.10;
};
  allow-query {
    127.0.0.1;
    172.0.0.0/8;
};
};

Im run the server in debug and make a request for google.ca from the client.
But this doesnt tell me that the request was actually sent to my forwarding
servers. I want to be able to confirn this and know that my localhost isnt
answering these queries for the client. Perhaps theres a logging config that
will show me this? Any ideas?

$ sudo named -d9 -g -c /etc/bind/named.conf
