Well, I did read the manual page for syslog.conf, but still have no idea
of how make named entries be logged to /var/log/named.log or something
like that instead to /var/log/messages. I just don't know what "auth,
authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security, syslog, 
user,  uucp and local0 through local7." entry use...

Could you please be a little more specific? Probably an example entry
could help me a lot.

Thank you very much for your help!
