hhhmmm.... I have not run multiple binds on the same box, but according to the man pages for named.conf (assuming you have a different configuration file for each instance) setup each to report to a different logging facility ie:
in named.conf: .... logging { channel default_syslog { syslog local7; severity info; }; ... and in /etc/rsyslog.conf # Save named messages firstnamedinstance.log local7.* /var/log/firstnamedinstance.log (If you have logrotate installed)....You may also want to add a file in /etc/logrotate.d with the following info: /var/log/firstnamedinstance.log { sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } So it will rotate the logs > Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 13:49:35 +0200 > From: klaus.mailingli...@pernau.at > To: bind-us...@isc.org > Subject: configure syslog prefix > > Hi! > > I have several bind instances running on the same host.
