How to prevent BIND from resolving addresses in logs

[Spumonti Spumonti]

Wow, do I feel like an idiot ... there's dumb and then there's the message I sent in.  I just took a quick look and *ASSUMED* the name in parentheses after the client IP address was the hostname of the IP address.  Nope.



Looking at another line from the log and actually READING it I see this is not the case:

27-Sep-2012 17:17:00.236 client 192.168.5.69#5965 (mail.schnauzerproblems.com): query: mail.schnauzerproblems.com IN A + 


I am ashamed.
