      Hello all,

      I configured pfsense to log everyting to a remote syslog server:
      Status -> System Logs -> Settings -> Remote log servers

      Then I set the dns resolver verbosity level to 3:
      Services -> DNS Resolver -> Advanced Settings -> Log Level

      The docs[1] say that "Level 3 gives query level  information".

      [1]https://www.unbound.net/documentation/unbound.conf.html

      but I see no dns queries on the remote log server. Everything else gets logged there.

      Logging dns queries is really useful sometimes to debug where a device wants to connect. Is this a bug or did I misconfigure something?
