Named socket, named pipe, the important thing is that it's something in
your file system space that has not appeared in your chroot'ed
environment.  The internal difference is of interest only in bizarre
circumstances.  ;-)

RH Linux uses the Unix-domain socket /dev/log.  Do a 'man syslogd' and
pay special attention to the "-a" flag.  Your manual entry may also
reference a useful URL under "-a".
