What SIGWINCH does to a name server depends on the version of BIND.
Maybe on this system you don't get query logging - I assume that's
what you're on about - when you send SIGWINCH to the name server.

Have you tried using logger to test that syslogd is doing the Right
Thing with messages that have the syslog facility code and priority
used for querty logging? Maybe you forgot to HUP syslogd after
changing syslog.conf?
