11 years ago Can you please try out the branch "clientquery". From my limited testing, this should log the queries if there is no valid DNS response from the server. ATM. it is turned on at all time, logging default to /var/log/passivedns-query.log
Feedback would be great.

10 years ago Has this been tested as stated by bweymes? Or just another forgotten github comment? =)

9 years ago He probably forgot or didn't bother to report back with the results. Closing the issue, since it's over a year old.
From using passivedns, I can see that if there is only requests, it wouldn't log anything. I would really like to see it log them. Adding a flag for query logging would be nice: ./passivendns -q /var/log/passivedns-failed-query.log
I hope the existing setup of caching the request and responses could be extended to allow for requests to be logged only when there is no response seen. A small timeout would suffice I think. Let me be clear: DNS requests that have not gotten answers is what I am interested in logging.
This is an important feature I believe is missing. I can also imagine it being very useful for DNS debugging.
