dhcpd logging

[Tim Peiffer]

Jim - I would suggest that it is time to go back and look at 
requirements again.  Is it a performance issue, or a security issue? 
RHEL3.0 now writes synchronous to syslog and creates serious performance 
problems.  If it is a security issue, then run syslogd to run internal 
only.  Then standard config and behaviour rules apply.

Alternatively, run syslogd to stdout/stderr, and then use log hovering 
techniques to write to a file.  You can also send lines of info to 
someone else's syslogd without using the internal syslog channels.
