There isn't really documentation on the format.  An example lookup (I
shortened the lines for easier view).  And I added the ;; in between
lines to separate out the different parts of a single lookup.

The line with 'resolving  ...' means that this was a cache miss and it
is going to lookup up this query.

The response for <name> reply from <server> query response was <type>
are sequences of lines that belong together.  They tell you what is
happening to the query.  You probably want to see the type ANSWER
response, the last one.  And see that the server for the domain
nlnetlabs.nl and its IP address (and #port number) answered for it.  If
there are errors a response with type ANSWER may never occur in the logs.

Best regards, Wouter
