Hi all,

As I was working on a DNS setup, I had the same question.
I found another way of doing things than the above.
I downloaded /etc/inc/services.inc from my m0n0wall box (using the 
exec.php page).
I changed the way dnsmasq is started in the function 
services_dnsmasq_configure() by adding the -q option that I found in the 
dnsmasq man page :

*-q, --log-queries*
    Log the results of DNS queries handled by dnsmasq. Enable a full
    cache dump on receipt of SIGUSR1. 

I uploaded back the edited file on the m0n0wall box, and moved it from 
/tmp to /etc/inc like it is written in the m0n0wall developer handbook 
(see http://doc.m0n0.ch/dev/faq.html#id11623234).
I toggled one of the options in the "Services > DNS forwarder" page and 
then applied changes in order to trigger a reload of the service. Now, 
all the DNS queries received by dnsmasq are showing in the "Diagnostics 
 > Logs" page, under the "System" tab.
