[dnsdist] Log rotation problem debian-dnsdist 1.8.2

[Joao Damas]

Hi everyone.
We have been running dnsdist 1.6.x for some time and decided to, finally, upgrade, to 1.8.2
We run dnsdist on Debian 11 and it all works EXCEPT for log rotation.
I can see dnsdist producing log entries when issuing 'systemctl status’ for the services (we start the services with the dnsdist at .service unit file)
If I reboot the machine I can see dnsdist entries being written to the designated file in /var/log. 
However come daily rotation time it no longer writes to the newly created file and no amount of restart/stop/start gets it back. Only a server reboot will get it to once again start writing to the correct log file.
I am guessing this is an interaction between dnsdist and systemd but nothing I have tried has worked to re-establish normal behaviour.

Any help is greatly appreciated
