I usually expand each log out into it's own channel and then to a separate log file, certainly makes things easier when you are trying to debug specific issues. So my logging section looks like the following:
logging {
channel default_file {
file "/var/log/named/default.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel general_file {
file "/var/log/named/general.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel database_file {
file "/var/log/named/database.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel security_file {
file "/var/log/named/security.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel config_file {
file "/var/log/named/config.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel resolver_file {
file "/var/log/named/resolver.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel xfer-in_file {
file "/var/log/named/xfer-in.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel xfer-out_file {
file "/var/log/named/xfer-out.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel notify_file {
file "/var/log/named/notify.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel client_file {
file "/var/log/named/client.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel unmatched_file {
file "/var/log/named/unmatched.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel queries_file {
file "/var/log/named/queries.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel network_file {
file "/var/log/named/network.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel update_file {
file "/var/log/named/update.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel dispatch_file {
file "/var/log/named/dispatch.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel dnssec_file {
file "/var/log/named/dnssec.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
channel lame-servers_file {
file "/var/log/named/lame-servers.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
category default { default_file; };
category general { general_file; };
category database { database_file; };
category security { security_file; };
category config { config_file; };
category resolver { resolver_file; };
category xfer-in { xfer-in_file; };
category xfer-out { xfer-out_file; };
category notify { notify_file; };
category client { client_file; };
category unmatched { unmatched_file; };
category queries { queries_file; };
category network { network_file; };
category update { update_file; };
category dispatch { dispatch_file; };
category dnssec { dnssec_file; };
category lame-servers { lame-servers_file; };
};
Hope this helps.
