Use Sysklogd to monitor externals

Hi
I am/I want to use sysklogd to monitor my access point and router (both can do this and it works) but is there a way to set up syslog s.t. the entries of these 2 sites don't go to /var/log/syslod but lets say /var/log/net_services

I googled round but couldn't find a satisfying answer

At risk of looking like a complete dork, I have to ask why you can't do this by editing syslog.conf?

That is exactly what i am asking her - how to set up syslog to do that for me.

Sysklogd replaced Syslogd,
my AP and router have the ability to send their logs to a Sys(k)logd
I got that part running

and now I would like to modify my syslog.conf so that the logs from those 2 appliances goes into a extra file

only i have no clue how (till now)
