I use syslog-ng for this because it has some nice filtering options.
One of which is source hostname/ip address. This means each router gets its
own logfile along with a messages file for all the routers messages.
Most of the engineers in the NOC tend to just leave this being tail'd in a
terminal as a handy way on watching for issues.
syslog-ng really is the way to go.
