Logging Problems

[Mike Partyka]

I don't have my BIND book handy but i beleive the statistics category was
valid with BIND 8 but no longer with BIND 9 since you dumps stats using
"rndc stats" command. I dump my stats out with rndc using a cron job that
redirects into a file such as /var/log/stats.log.
And query logging has to be toggled on using command "rndc querylog".
