[lug] logging with bind 8

[bdoctor at ps-ax.com]

This is what I use, should do what you wish:

logging {
        channel default_log {
        file "/dev/null";
        severity info;
        };
        channel severe_log {
        file "/var/log/named/named.severe";
        severity critical;
        };
        channel error_log {
        file "/var/log/named/named.error";
        severity error;
        };
        channel debug_log {
        file "/var/log/named/named.debug";
        severity debug;
        };
        category default { debug_log; };
        category config { debug_log; };
        category parser { debug_log; };
        category panic { debug_log; }; 
        category cname { null; };
        category lame-servers { null; };

};
