It is possible to enable logging on DNS to log all queries and what IP they
come from but it causes DNS to slow down considerably.
Get a Proxy Server. This is standard in most proxy servers.

Use the DNS console, right Click on The DNS server object, choose
properties, Logging Tab.

I think you need to use the right tool for the right job. This is not DNS'
job. The log you will get from DNS is NOT what you are looking for for this
project. for one, this log is not intelligent or intuitive enough to make
any meaningful interpretation possible. As Kevin said, get a Proxy (ISA
server is recommended). however, if you still insist on using DNS, what you
want to enableis the "Debug logging". Check off everything, specify the
location where you want the log file written to, then increase the Maximum
Size to the largest numerical number you can think of (my Lab server is
currently set to 999000000). The log is very chatty. It is meant for
debugging, but it is the only thing close to what you are looking for in
DNS.

Hs> I want to know what user ask what internet page.

Install a proxy HTTP server and make its use mandatory. Then read its log.
Be aware of the ramifications of doing these.

This is not a DNS matter.

I agree about Proxy or ISA.
In addition, you can increase the DNS logging level sent to the Event
viewer...
