Doesn't seem to me that you're actually sending any log messages to
that channel. Maybe a missing 'category' stanza?
>From my config:
// Logging options
logging {
channel simple_log {
file "/log/named.log" versions 3 size 5m;
severity info;
print-time yes;
print-severity yes;
print-category yes;
};
category default {
simple_log;
};
category lame-servers { null; };
};
My 'category default' stanza looks to be the kind of thing missing in
your config.
