Very confusing. The first two lines generate duplicates (kern.debug subsumes
kern.notice, *.err is duplicated)

I prefer a structured approach:

auth.debug						/var/log/auth/auth.log
mail.debug						/var/log/mail/mail.log
daemon.debug						/var/log/daemon/daemon.log
local0.info						/dev/null
*.debug;daemon.none;mail.none;auth.none;local0.none	/var/log/other/syslog.log
*.emerg							*
*.emerg							/var/log/other/syslog.log

I didn't change loggin in my named, and it logs using facility daemon.
For your syslog.conf that means if named's messages have level err or higher
they go to /dev/sysmsg and /dev/sysmsg, if they have level notice or higher
they go to /var/adm/messages

ndc communicates with the named process by means of a unix domain socket.
I'd say ndc doesn't read named.conf at all, only named does.
