It currently shows high / evenly distributed levels of traffic dns traffic originating from my Windows 2003 AD / active directory DNS server.

I'm not sure what you are really asking, but if your clients are configured properly, they should all be requesting DNS from the DC if it has DNS installed. > My DNS server is currently configed for Root hints. Also, not sure how this relates to your question.  SignatureBest regards, Kevin D.

I need to find a log (or enable logging) on my Windows 2003 Active Directory integrated DNS server - to find out which client (ip address) is requesting what name lookup. I know that these clients requesting dns info from my DNS server are MY clients - because their conifgured with a DHCP scope listing my internal DNS server. Ultimetly I'm trying to identify what my firewall logging program is seeing.... Its seeing a lot of DNS iterative or recursive queries coming from my DNS server (which are requests from my clients) I want to know which of my clients are doing the requesting and for what associated FQDNs. thanks again for any help on this!

If you want to keep track of what sites and traffic your users are up to, as well as control such traffic, I would suggest installing ISA, Websense, Barracuda, or any other number of proxy applicance out there that will log all traffic and can work with AD authentication to allow traffic.
