mmm I'm not sure if I understood, but when you want to register any log to remote host you must to do as follow:
mail.* @10.0.1.1
The example above is for register any mail logs into mail to remote host with 10.0.1.1 ip address.

Trying to figure out if there's a way to get syslog.conf to direct remote logging from a wireless access point to log to a separate file instead of the main syslog and can't figure out how that could be done from man syslog.conf (or man 2/3 of syslog)
this clearly doesn't work
192.168.1.251.* /var/log/WAP-2.log
which according to the man page, makes sense since this the IP address is not a facility.
Is there a way to do this that I am missing?
The stock syslog package can't do this. You need rsyslog to make this happen. You can set up various templates and filters based on the log file information also. See
http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2007/12/31/centralized-logging-with-centos-and-rs... for a brief walkthrough on the basics.
In RPMforge we have backported rsyslog packages from RHEL5 to RHEL4. In this case version 2.0.0-11, but when RHEL5.3 is released (or security updates are released) I am commited to release them for RHEL4.
