| Quote: | I am currently using Microsoft Active DNS and was
wondering if there is a way to track -
1) Who is using my DNS (host name / IP Address of
requestor) 2) What names are they looking up
- at what time did the lookup occur
Does such a log exist in/on MS DNS?
Is there a third party product that will do this?
Thanks so much.

One particular tool? not that I know of, at least one that logs all you
want. You can enable Advanced logging (Advanced tab) in combination with the
port reporter tool, that logs TCP and UDP connections.
That said, DNS is usually a read only service sending out packets of less
than 512 bytes, some packets are larger but that's another story. Anyway the
point is enabling Advanced logging is intended for short term
diagnostistics, using advanced logging can cause the DNS service to log 7020
events and time out because DNS can easily have hundreds if not thousands of
querys per minute and it takes considrable CPU resources to write a log.
This is addition to the port reporter that logs UDP/TCP connections.
It could easily take a pretty mean machine just to write the logs you want
for this one service.
