DNSCAP - DNS traffic capture utility

cap is a network capture utility designed specifically for DNS
    traffic. It produces binary data in pcap(3) format, either on
    standard output (by default) or in successive dump files (if the d
    command line option is given.) This utility is similar to tcpdump(1),
    but has finer grained packet recognition tailored to DNS transactions
    and protocol options. dnscap is expected to be used for gathering
    continuous research or audit traces.
