Okay, I think I have it working now.  I was running Bind 9.1.0-10 rpm from
Redhat for Redhat 7.1.  I uninstalled that version, and installed version
9.2.0 from source.  The logging seems to be working now.

I have a different question now though.  I am running it as root.  The
redhat rpm version ran as named.  Should I configure it to work as named, or
continue to run it as root?

Thanks,
Jeff
