Hmmm.. I'll try to explain shorter and more comprehensible:

With the recursor of PDNS 2.9.15-WIN32 there was a logging of the 
requests to pdns, bu with the new recursor there is no more any logging 
in the 'pdns webinterface'.

On my ubuntu host there is a logging of all requests:

I got YaCy, a p2p based searchengine installed. Due to this I got in 
less then a week up to 400.000 requests, I guess.

Kind regards

I'm still sorry about my poor english and my lack of (p)dns 
knowledge...., but it might be an issue for the windows release. If not 
it's maybe a misconfiguration on my windows host.
