Sorry - this is much used by people with 'pdns monitor' to see what is
happening on the foreground. I can't apply this patch because it removes all
logging to the console, which a lot of people really need. 

What we need is two flags, one which says which messages go to the console
and one which says which go to syslog. 

In your second patch, you log a lot which is not being written out because
it is filtered, but be aware that logging is very expensive, even when not
writing it out tot syslog!
