No syslog involved.  These are console logs coming off many devices.
I've debated about modifying my program to store this data in MYSQL but
am trying mysqlfs now.  Performance is a non-issue for these.   I'm also
doing replication and my only concern is that with the possible high
number of transactions the bin-logs could get very big very fast.  Maybe
I should create a cron job to clean them?
