Then you might try http://www.balabit.hu/en/downloads/syslog-ng/

"The original syslogd allows messages only to be sorted based on 
priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the possibility to filter based on 
message contents using regular expressions. The new configuration scheme is 
intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs over TCP and remembering all 
forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled environments."

What i like most is:
...
 file("/var/log/remotelogs/$HOST/$PROGRAM/$YEAR_$MONTH" create_dirs(yes));

It makes logging and managing easier.
