source which provides raw DNS log data. I don't want processed
DNS logs. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in Advance.

given any specifics: what OS, what DNS software you're running.
I'll throw some random stuff out there to answer your vague
question, and hope for the best.  You can't get any more raw in
your logs than tcpdump. This is kind of a brutal solution that
uses lots of CPU and disk space. If this is what you really
want, and your name server isn't that active, you have a short
window of time that you want to debug a specific problem, then
this might be for you.  as root, do something like this, and
you'll save all traffic destined to your dns server: set the
INTERFACE and MYSERVERIP variables as appropriate...  tcpdump
-nn -i $INTERFACE -s 0 -c 100000 -w foo.cap port 53 and dst
$MYSERVERIP  This will store 100,000 dns queries into the file
foo.cap  You can get a brief summary
