I did think about named pipes - but I didn't know how to use them.  It's 
still not working right within upstart - here's my current attempt:

# dnscache
#
# This task runs the dnscache server.

start on runlevel-1
start on runlevel-2
start on runlevel-3
start on runlevel-4
start on runlevel-5
start on runlevel-6

stop on shutdown

start script
    exec mkfifo /var/lib/dnscache/log/multilog
    exec chown dnscache.nogroup /var/lib/dnscache/log/multilog
end script

script
    #### if I put any of the redirects here dnscache doesn't start ####
    exec envdir /var/lib/dnscache/env \
        envuidgid dnscache softlimit -o250 -d "$DATALIMIT" \
        /usr/bin/dnscache
end script
respawn

stop script
    exec rm /var/lib/dnsccahe/log/multilog
end script

console output /var/lib/dnscache/log/multilog
