Hi Greg,

I'm looking to have my: queries.log (which logs all the queries my Bind 
9.16.30 recursive resolver resolves), rotated at the end of the day and 
I'd like to keep 7 days worth of those logs.

I didn't see anywhere in the log rotation options for: named.conf that 
mentioned rotation based on *time*.  I saw I can configure rotations 
based on the size of the file, but I'd like rotation to happen once 
every 24 hours.

With that in mind, I believe I could change the logging stanza from:

     file "/var/queries.log"
         versions 2 size 1G suffix increment;

to (syntax might be incorrect):

     file "/var/queries.log"
         size 1G;

I still want any daily log *before* it's being rotated to be a maximum 
size of 1 GB.

I believe my: newsyslog.conf line to rotate the logs daily is correct, 
except I wasn't entirely sure what the: rndc equivalent of sending 
SIGHUP to Bind was, as the ARM and man note that sending signals to 
control Bind is deprecated.

Thanks,

- J
