logging to syslog on another host?

[Jaco Lesch]

The syslog daemon on the machine where BIND runs on will send the syslog 
messages to the central syslog server. So you need to configure your 
syslog.conf file to send the facility that BIND uses, normaly daemon, to 
the remote syslog server.

The syslog.conf on Solaris looks something like this:
# logging to remote syslog server
daemon.info            @syslog.domain.com
# send to local file on server
daemon.info            /var/log/messages

Hope this helps.
