DNS Statistics Collector (DSC) is a tool used for collecting and exploring statistics from busy DNS servers. It uses a distributed architecture with collectors running on or near nameservers sending their data to one or more central presenters for display and archiving. Collectors use pcap to sniff network traffic. They transmit aggregated data to the presenter as XML data.
DNS Statistics Presenter can be found here:

Mailinglist:
dsc requires a couple of libraries beside a normal C compiling
environment with autoconf, automake, libtool and pkgconfig.
dsc has a non-optional dependency on the PCAP library and optional
dependency on the GeoIP library (for the asn and country indexer).
To install the dependencies under Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install -y libpcap-dev libproc-pid-file-perl
To install the dependencies under CentOS (with EPEL enabled):
yum install -y libpcap-devel perl-Proc-PID-File
To install the dependencies under FreeBSD 10+ using pkg:
pkg install -y libpcap p5-Proc-PID-File
To install the dependencies under OpenBSD 5+ using pkg_add:
pkg_add p5-Proc-PID-File
NOTE: It is recommended to install the PCAP library from source/ports on OpenBSD since the bundled version is an older and modified version.
The source tarball from DNS-OARC comes prepared with configure:
tar zxvf dsc-version.tar.gz
cd dsc-version
./configure [options]
make
make install
If you are building dsc from it's Git repository you will first need
to initiate the Git submodules that exists and later create autoconf/automake
files, this will require a build environment with autoconf, automake, libtool
and pkgconfig to be installed.
git clone https://github.com/DNS-OARC/dsc.git
cd dsc
git submodule update --init
./autogen.sh
./configure [options]
make
make install
