Hello Alan -
Currently I'm not using query logging, it's not in my options at all.
Are you saying that named logging by syslog into /var/log/messages is
controlled by named.conf? Seems unlikely, I'd think it would be a
function of syslog.conf. I'm trying to learn more about it but I'm
swamped this am, just thought I'd post here to see if anyone knows a
quick way to exclude named from the syslog completely.

I don't think I'd seen the logging stanza, but yes, logging to syslog is a bad
thing, and logging queries to syslog is even worse. Having had someone pick
this out of an strace output is indeed awesome.
I really don't need this kind of logging in the messages log. I can turn on
query logging in the named.conf if I need more detail on named. I think the
simplest thing would just be to have an exclusion in the syslog config for
named. I confess some general ignorance, so perhaps you know the directive for
that?
To reduce the load on named in general, just turn off query logging in the named.conf,
or, you can leave the stanza in and put a "querylog no;" in your options stanza
so that it is not started when named starts (I'm not sure what version introduced the
querylog option, so you may need to test this.
