Well, if you're really serious about logging everything loggable, you
could use something more or less like this:
logging {
channel log_all {
syslog daemon;
severity debug 99;
print-category yes;
print-severity yes;
print-time yes;
};
category * { log_all; };
};
(Can you use a wildcard for the category? I'm not sure, but it's easy
to check. If not, list the ones you care about:
category config { log_all; };
category parser { log_all; };
.
.
. )
A word of caution: if your nameserver is at all busy, and probably
even if it's not, this level of logging is very likely to be far more
verbose than you really want...
