queries to DNS server

[John Wobus]

Another method, that easily gets you a quick sample of your clients is 
using
tcpdump (or snoop).  Collect X number of packets (e.g. 10,000) and see 
who's
calling you.

Depending upon how you plan to use the data, e.g., if you were just 
looking for a quick
percentage showing what fraction of the queries are coming from off 
campus, this can
be adequate for some purposes.
