Yes I have been looking into this for some time. Currently the way we are
doing it is by setting up a port mirror for the DNS servers. From there we
run http://dns.measurement-factory.com/tools/dsc/ for later analysis.

Its very rough at the moment but we hope to in the future to be able to add
per record stats.

I learned my lesson, PDNS should not gather stats on a per record basis, to
do so would kill your performance. As statistical analysis is generally
processor intensive not to mention memory intensive, you are better off IMHO
going at it using port mirroring and a dedicated host for it. By all means
then do dump back your parsed results back into your DB.
