Hi all,

I'm thinking of writing a quick tool to archive the query-log in a
database to allow for easier reports.

The obvious question that occurs is; What would be what's the best
approach to do this?

Running scripts that parses through the query-log would cause locking
essentially killing BIND on a heavy loaded server and only parsing
archived files wouldn't allow real-time information, also re-parsing
the same set of data over and over again until the log has rotated
would cause unnecessary I/O load. I'm guessing the best would be to
have BIND write directly to a script that dumps the data where-ever it
makes sense to.

I've used BIND statistics and found it highly useful but then again it
doesn't allow me to make breakdowns based on host/query.

If anyone has done something like this or having pointers on how this
could achieved any information is welcome!

Thanks

/Jonathan
