bind9 logs be freed of syslog

 I want to know who is requesting what on my bind9 server.  
 Time to cull out those logs from /var/log/syslog .  
   
 $ vi /etc/bind/named.conf  
   
 just before named.conf.local , put in this line:  
   
 include "/etc/bind/named.conf.log";  
   
 $ vi /etc/bind/named.conf.log  
   
 logging {  
  channel bind_log {  
   file "/var/log/bind/bind.log" versions 3 size 5m;  
   severity info;  
   print-category yes;  
   print-severity yes;  
   print-time yes;  
  };  
  category default { bind_log; };  
  category update { bind_log; };  
  category update-security { bind_log; };  
  category security { bind_log; };  
  category queries { bind_log; };  
  category lame-servers { null; };  
 };  
   
   
 see that directory? create it and perm it  
   
 $ mkdir /var/log/bind ; chown bind:bind /var/log/bind  
   
 your logs will be large with all that debug stuff. rotate them!  
   
 $ vi /etc/logrotate.d/bind   
   
 /var/log/bind/bind.log {  
  daily  
  missingok  
  rotate 7  
  compress  
  delaycompress  
  notifempty  
  create 644 bind bind  
  postrotate  
   /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d bind9 reload > /dev/null  
  endscript  
 }  
   
 $ /etc/init.d/bind9 restart  
   
 excitement.
