No need to run a server, you can simply sniff DNS traffic destined to
that box. If you don't want to send back an ICMP port unreachable
message, just block them using a packet filter.

I have some DNS sniffer code for exactly that purpose I can send to you
off-list if you are interested. tcpdump does the job, too, but mine
integrates DNS processing and logging (for IN/A record queries via UDP).
