      You could look at sending iptables messages to /var/log/iptables
      using rsyslog.

    Thanks for the reply. I did an initial read of the page and it looks
    interesting. That being said, I'm going to have to take a few more
    passes to make sure I understand it.

    
    If I read correctly, it isn't a replacement for logging to
    /var/log/messages, just a way to filter those logs into another log
    that only gets what I want to see?
