The device sending the syslog entries (I had thought you said it was a router,
but my memory ....).
Multiple facilities are available via syslog:
The facility is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron,
daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), syslog,
user, uucp and local0 through local7. The keyword security should not
be used anymore and mark is only for internal use and therefore should
not be used in applications. Anyway, you may want to specify and redi-
rect these messages here. The facility specifies the subsystem that
produced the message, i.e. all mail programs log with the mail facility
(LOG_MAIL) if they log using syslog.
If the device you are sending from can be told to use one of the localn
facilities, then you can easily control that with a localn.* entry in syslog.conf.
