I found something interesting.  This is on a Mandrake 10.0 box that
starts named with an init script.  When the box is booted, named comes
up, but not rndc.  If I issue a /etc/init.d/named restart, named
restarts and rndc starts.  Once that is done, and I issue a rndc
querylog, logging is almost as expected (except queries are logged to
both log_file and syslog).  I'm looking at the init script because it
doesn't do what many other Mandrake init script do, i.e., issue a
restart rather than a simple start.

It looks like a script problem rather than a bind problem.  Guess I will
tinker with the script.
