Logging in the name server itself is typically very slow, take
resources and, more seriously, add a new feature (which means new bugs
and new security issues) to a critical software. So, indeed, it should
not be done.

Following OARC workshops, it seems many operators of authoritative
name servers log everything, with capture taps + a
NoSQL-bigdata-thing.

There are also captures of traffic at recursors, for instance
Farsight' SIE, which logs the answers, and have interesting services
on the top of it (such as DNSDB).
