We have an application where we'd like to dump those logs into an ODBC based database (something we already do for all our web and ftp servers). I'd love to see QDNS move in this direction. This allows all machines to be logged to one datasource and errors, problems, accounting, and such can be done at the database level without the need to do any importing or batching (stats can be ran in real-time). If you'd like to see the code for the store-and-forward engine that we're using on the MacOS based servers, I'm sure we could work something out. But regardless... consider this extended logging in your planning for enhancements. Cheers, ~Scott
