unless you have /var/log as separate partition thenm yes. but usually people 
have /var in one piece :)

and logrotate can be made work using lastaction script:

/var/lib/named/named.log {
	create 640 named named

	# must be on same partition as log itself.
	olddir /var/lib/named

	# lastaction script does the compress
	nocompress

	# just to limit for on expression below
	rotate 9

	postrotate
		/bin/killall -HUP named
	endscript

	lastaction
	        for a in /var/lib/named/*.?; do
			/usr/bin/bzip2 < $a > /var/log/archiv/named/$(basename $a) && rm -f $a
		done
	endscript
}

(note: this script is not tested)

also it can be made working with copytruncate option, i believe, that could 
cause lost loglines, which isn't good either.
