Windows: Rotating the log file

[RayG]

Hi Jaap,

I took a look at some of those offerings and there does not seem to be a
"free" one at all. They all want money and at £100 or there abouts, that's a
bit too much just to get unbound's logging to rotate neatly.

I did try and install one and from what I understand, I comment the "#
logfile:" entry and enable the "use-syslog: yes" and it should all work. But
I had no luck in getting this to function as it should.

The windows file semantibs are apparently different then in UniX.
So syslog sould be my suggestion as well.

There are quite of free syslogs servers for windows, a single google search
give me the following hit
<https://www.ittsystems.com/best-free-syslog-server-windows/>. There are
likely more
