    Nice addition, xuwen, thanks for sharing!

    For those that find this, it's a fantastic example of how to use binary commands to decode the protocol, but I wouldn't recommend logging dns traffic to local0. unless it's for a very brief point in time for troubleshooting purposes, and even then, if your system has heavy dns traffic, it's likely to significantly reduce throughput. A better option for logging from iRules would be to use HSL and send the logs off-box for analysis.
