On log level 0, only pretty catastrophic things should be logged,
otherwise the log would be quite large in seconds. I had a bunch of
logging output at log level 1 (which is what make test runs at), and
people bumped that up to even higher levels to get rid of the noise.

I'm interested in your proposed solution. How do I get more relevant
debugging info to the average user while not printing non-relevant info,
when the average user is interested in different output every time?

BIND is sort of a one-trick pony. It's pretty safe to assume that
everybody who runs BIND cares about DNS and would like to see DNS stuff
in the logs. I don't see the same happening for samba.

Cheers,
