Maby you could put the syslog-messages into a file and then import it
into mysql?

We have 10 webservers sending http-logs to one dual PIII.

syslog~#>netstat -s -p udp
udp:
        167166048 datagrams received
        0 with incomplete header
        0 with bad data length field
        0 with bad checksum
        19371 with no checksum
        810 dropped due to no socket
        18964 broadcast/multicast datagrams dropped due to no socket
        22911 dropped due to full socket buffers
        0 not for hashed pcb
        167123363 delivered
        122985843 datagrams output

They are kept in flat files.
