Hello!

This is a request to enhancement.

Is it possible to make named querylog log somehow if clients query hit
the server cache or not, not regarding to other logged query options
(like +EDC).

In the absence of such logging from BIND, this can be deduced from the traffic, if a traffic sniffer is used and the results processed and analyzed. The query and the response can be matched up based on the query ID. If the 'aa' flag is not set in the response, the intervening traffic can be examined looking for outbound queries with matching name, class, and type. If there are none, then the query was answered from cache.

3rd party traffic analysis software exists, including a commercial offering from Men & Mice. If it does not already look for this specific correlation, I'm pretty sure it would not too difficult to add.
