Roger Halliburton's questions

So I have a number of apache logs I like to handle with logrotate on a developer box. Some of them are for user sandboxes, others are for staging versions and such.

The logrotate config looks like:

/srv/www/logs/beta/*log
/srv/www/logs/www/*log
/home/developerx/logs/*.log {
    daily
    rotate 100
    olddir archive
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
    endscript
}

I would like to customize some of the settings for beta versus a sandbox, like rotate 10 instead of 100 for a sandbox. I could create a new context for this, but if I do the postrotate "reload" for multiple contexts I worry that the process will be reloaded multiple times.

As a secondary question, is there any way to determine the order in which logrotate will process these entries? Alphabetical by filename, and first-to-last within a file?

I have a 'named' service running on a database server that is currently not being used. I am getting dozens of "network unreachable" errors in the messages log every day from named, presumably from people looking for common exploits on the box. Do I even need to be running the named service? Or is there something else I should do to cut down on log spam? This box will only be used to serve database queries. (Note: I know there is no real reason for this box to be directly connected to the internet, but that is the current configuration. So go ahead and tell me to put it behind a firewall, I already know that.)
