No. You can set a path in named.conf with the options { directory ...; };
statement, but that single path applies to all unqualified paths in named.conf.
You could, however, write this:
options {
directory "/var/named";
};
logging {
channel config_log {
file "log/config" [...];
};
channel database_log {
file "log/database" [...];
};
};
Your directory structure might include a symlink at /var/named/log pointing to
/var/log/dns.
