Thank you.
Adding stop was unsuccessful. I even made this the first directive in my
/etc/rsyslog.d directory (00-pdns.conf).
What is also confusing me is the following.
In the pdns.conf file, I set logging-facility=1.
The log entry that appears in my pdns.log is:
Sep 14 09:07:52 xxxxxx-232 pdns[1380]: AXFR of domain 'foo.bar.com' to 1.2.3.4
finished
The entry that appears in /var/log/messages:
Sep 14 09:26:30 xxxxxx-209 pdns_server: AXFR of domain 'foo.bar.com' initiated
by 1.2.3.4
also, the output from journalctl shows 2 entries
Sep 14 10:22:41 xxxxxx-209 pdns_server[98865]: AXFR of domain 'foo.bar.com' to
1.2.3.4finished
Sep 14 10:22:41 xxxxxx-209 pdns[98865]: AXFR of domain 'foo.bar.com' to 1.2.3.4
finished
I kick off pdns via systemd: /usr/sbin/pdns_server --guardian=no --daemon=no
--log-timestamp=no --write-pid=no
I am running version: Sep 14 10:31:31 PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.1.14 (C)
2001-2018 PowerDNS.COM BV
Thanks in advance

That question is entirely about rsyslog and not powerdns, but in short
you'll need something like this:
local1.* {
# Logging for powerdns
# facility-specific targets
action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/pdns.log")
stop
}
You can see some more examples at
https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/converting_to_new_format.html#converting-action-chains
("A common construct is to send messages to a remote host based on some
message content and then not further process it")
