[nsd-users] logging error on /etc/nsd/nsd.log

[Mukul Shukla]

Dear Andreas

Thanks for the reply

I want to log to a separate log file, very handy for setting up of NSD
replication, STDOUT is not a viable option.
Logging to /run (which exists in Debian Testing), is a viable option. For
that matter, any other folder like /etc/nsd itself.
I would better change the distribution, if no proper solution could be
found out.

Thanks.
