[lug] logging in bind8

[charles at lunarmedia.net]

i am trying to get my instance of named to log to its own log file
seperate from /var/log/messages.
in my named.conf, i have configured:



logging {
                channel my_bindlog {
                        file "/var/log/bindlog";
                        severity dynamic;
                        };
                category default {
                        my_bindlog;
                        };
                category panic {
                        my_bindlog;
                        };
                category packet {
                        my_bindlog;
                        };
                category eventlib {
                        my_bindlog;
                        };
        };


but it doesnt seem to be doing the trick. at the same time however, my
logging to /var/log/messages of bind notices seems to have stopped
altogether, so I know that something is occurring.
i've tried chmod 777 on the /var/log/bindlog file to make sure the file
has write permissions, and still no change.

suggestions?
