You can configure iptables to log to somewhere else.  Another file, or
directly to a console.

Tim:

When I first looked into the man pages et al for iptables, I found the LOG but
no way to specify a file. The best I could sort out was using a prefix so I
would at least have a token to search for in /var/log/messages.

I just did a quick google to see if I missed something. The only thing I see is
a level and a link to syslog.conf, which I did not get on first reading (and it
didn't feel like where I should be looking to begin with).

Can you point me to a link?

If you use --log-level you can control handling of that output only. There is buffering control in syslog, I forget the details, but on one system I do recall that going unbuffered caused a large increase in CPU use. You should be able to find the info in man pages, I have no link for predigested summaries.
