What "standard" is this? The default logging for named goes to
syslog, and from there it's up to your syslogd to decide if/where it
should be written.
Perhaps what you want is a separate log channel for queries? This is
what I use:
logging {
channel "default_log" {
file "logs/named.log" versions unlimited size 4194304;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
print-severity yes;
print-category yes;
};
channel "query_log" {
file "logs/query.log" versions 10 size 2097152;
severity dynamic;
print-time yes;
};
category "default" {
"default_log";
};
category "queries" {
"query_log";
};
};
Those paths are relative to the "directory" which is set in your
options{}. Adjust to suit.

Why (and why not?) What's the actual problem? And what do you plan
to do with all those query logs? Query logging has a substantial
impact on server performance.
