1. mkdir /var/log/named
2. chown bind /var/log/named
3. chgrp bind /var/log/named
4. generate /etc/bind/named.logging.conf with following content.
5. add following line to /etc/bind/named.conf
6. check config with "named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf", no output means okay.

        print-category yes; 
        print-time yes; 
        print-severity yes;

    channel database-log { 
        file "/var/log/named/database.log"; 
        print-category yes; 
        print-time yes;
