[dnsdist] dnsdist and protobuf support for DnstapLogAction

[Ambauen Daniel (ID NET)]

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your explanation and clarification about the two dnstap modes.
Do I understand you correct, if I will use the dnstab tools from http://dnstap.info/Source/,
then I have to build dnsdist with FSTRM support?

Daniel
