Turning log on bind for troubleshooting

[Eduardo Bonsi]

Sebastian;

Thanks! I was looking at this log statement last night. I found two 
statements: Not sure what is the best one to debug.
They are also not clear where to insert these statements:
On options or some place else in the end of named.conf.

logging{
   channel simple_log {
     file "/var/log/named/bind.log" versions 3 size 5m;
     severity warning;
     print-time yes;
     print-severity yes;
     print-category yes;
   };
   category default{
     simple_log;
   };
};
