dhcpd.log file not rolling

Greetings,

Not a dhcp problem but thought I would ask here. Most everything I know
about dhcp I've learned from this list, man and The DHCP Handbook in that
order so thanks! :-)

Upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise 6 and DHCP Server 4.1.1-P1 last week and
having a problem with the rolling of the dhcp.log file.


Creates the new file dhcpd.log but dhcp sometimes is still putting the log
messages in the wrong/old file.
Creates the new file at 4:00 AM like on the old system, but the log messages
are still going in to the file dhcpd.log-20110110 for couple of days.
The messages and named files are rolling OK, the dhcpd.log file seems hit or
miss.
Anyone have an idea what I might have wrong, timing, need change to
/etc/logrotate.d/dhcpd ?

~dhcpd files in var/log
# ls -lt /var/log/dhcp*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32466007 Jan 11 08:34 /var/log/dhcpd.log-20110110
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root        0 Jan 11 04:01 /var/log/dhcpd.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 29469760 Jan  9 04:01 /var/log/dhcpd.log-20110108
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root        0 Jan  8 04:01 /var/log/dhcpd.log-20110109
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     7139 Jan  7 04:50 /var/log/dhcpd.log-20110107
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  1865869 Jan  6 14:59 /var/log/dhcpd.log-20110106


In the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf have
*log-facility local1;*

In the file /etc/rsyslog.conf have
XX;others;*local1.none*              /var/log/messages
*local1.**                                   /var/log/dhcpd.log

In the file /etc/anacrontab
START_HOURS_RANGE=4-5
1       0       cron.daily              nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily

In the directory /etc/cron.daily
logrotate
makewhatis.cron
mlocate.cron
prelink
readahead.cron
tmpwatch

In the file /etc/logrotate.d/dhcpd have
 /var/log/dhcpd.log {
     daily
     rotate 60
     missingok
     create 0644 root root
     postrotate
         /sbin/service dhcpd restart > /dev/null
     endscript
 }

thanks!
jim
