In addition to the other suggestions, you could switch to rsyslog, included
in CentOS base. It provides much more flexible filtering options. Add a
unique string to your iptables log lines and match on it to divert all of
its logs to a separate file (or virtual console).
After switching to rsyslog, my /var/log/messages rarely gets a new message,
as I've diverted everything to subsystem-specific log files. (Remember to
add logrotate entries for them so your disk doesn't fill up.)
