Okay, I have rsyslog running and regular syslog stopped. Also
chkconfig'ed them. 

I added this to /etc/rsyslog.conf:
$template DynaFile,"/var/log/system-%HOSTNAME%.log"
*.* -?DynaFile

The log that gets created for my router is called:
system-Tue,.log

So I've been trying to modify it using a different propnames instead of
%HOSTNAME%. So far all I get for a result is:
system-**INVALID PROPERTY NAME**.log

In upper and lower case I've tried:
source
fromhost
fromhost-ip

Any suggestions? It's so close now!

Thanks,
James
