We are trying to track some specific rules using  LOG as target.
Everything is working well but the problem is that iptables is flooding
the console with LOG messages.

In addition to the other suggestions, you could switch to rsyslog, included 
in CentOS base. It provides much more flexible filtering options. Add a 
unique string to your iptables log lines and match on it to divert all of 
its logs to a separate file (or virtual console).

After switching to rsyslog, my /var/log/messages rarely gets a new message, 
as I've diverted everything to subsystem-specific log files. (Remember to 
add logrotate entries for them so your disk doesn't fill up.)
