I just published base-dns RPMs for 5210R that fix this issue for good.

Due to an error extended logging (an option in the "Advanced" tab in the 
DNS GUI) resulted to always have extended DNS logging enabled. Which 
then resulted in the absurdly large DNS logfiles. This has now been fixed.

Additionally /etc/logrotate.d/named-chroot.conf has been added, which 
now performs a daily logrotate of DNS logs. It keeps no old DNS logfiles 
at all.
