I'm afraid 400 q/s would be characterized as a *light load* in most cases. However, if you want query logging bind may not be the best choice. Using a packet sniffer based solution (tcpdump, dnscap etc) often works better for higher query loads. We have successfully used this for query logging at 30k q/s with no problems whatsoever. As far as I know others have used it for much higher query loads.
