A bit special case - I am not aware of the right solution for it right now:

It is useful to see all the local programs DNS queries by setting my local
named(8) as:
	logging { category queries { default_syslog; }; };

, just mail delivery / SpamAssassin generate a lot of useless DNS log entries.
I would like to use a different DNS server for it to not to clutter the log of
relevant DNS queries.


Regards,
Lace
