It's running using a fairly standard RedHat install as best as I can
figure.. I've attached the relevant parts of /etc/syslog.conf below:
# htsearch - uses LOG_LOCAL5 facility, LOG_INFO level
local5.info /usr/local/DEV/WLPLOGS/htsearch_log
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none
/var/log/messages
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*
/var/log/boot.log
*.=debug;kern.none;local7.none /var/log/debug
*.=info;kern.none;local7.none /var/log/info
Now htdig queries are being logged in:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/info
But as yet nothing is being written here (this is where the apache logs
are stored at the moment):
/usr/local/DEV/WLPLOGS/htsearch_log

This was helpful, but I'm not sure why this isn't writing to the
location I specified...

Adding a crontab is easy enough to do.. I just am not sure how to get
it to rotate the logs..

Not greek.. But not as familiar as I'd like..
The sysadmins are on vacation at this point.. :)

ps. I've got the header/footer question sorted out now.. I'm not sure
why it wasn't coming up when I was looking at this issue initially..
