Capture log of service from stdout

[soupdiver]

I'm pretty new to Freebsd, so please excuse me if this question is very basic.
I'm trying to configure a server for my home setup.
I installed coredns and enabled it in /etc/rc.conf

My issue is that coredns only logs to stdout and doesn't support a logfile.
What's the best way to redirect it's output to e.g. /var/log/coredns.log?

I already tried messing around with > /var/log/coredns.log in its rc script but was not successfull.
I also tried to add coredns.* /var/log/coredns.log in my /etc/syslog.conf but am not sure if that's correct.
I'm not sure about the facility(?) of my service!?

If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great

My /usr/local/etc/rc.d/coredns

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: coredns
# REQUIRE: DAEMON NETWORKING
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.local, /etc/rc.conf or
# /etc/rc.conf.d/coredns to enable this service:
#
# coredns_enable (bool):        Set to NO by default.
#                               Set it to "YES" to enable coredns.
# coredns_config (str):         Set to $PREFIX/etc/coredns/Corefile by default.
#                               Path to configuration file.
# coredns_cpu_cap (str):        Set to "100" by default.
#                               CPU cap.
# coredns_listen_port (str):    Set to "53" by default.
#                               Port to bind to.

. /etc/rc.subr

name=coredns
rcvar=coredns_enable
start_precmd="${name}_precmd"

load_rc_config $name

coredns_precmd()
{
    /usr/bin/install -d -m 0755 \
            /usr/local/etc/coredns
}
echo $command$command_args
run_rc_command "$1"

This gets ran through /usr/sbin/daemon that redirects stdin from corednes to /var/log/daemon.log. daemon has an -o switch specifies where the log file goes. I would try adding this to the command_args.

For example

command_args="-S -m 3 -s "info" -l "daemon" -p ${pidfile} -o /var/log/coredns.log /usr/bin/env ${procname} ${coredns_args}"
