Trying to figure out if there's a way to get syslog.conf to direct
remote logging from a wireless access point to log to a separate file

from man syslog.conf (or man 2/3 of syslog)
this clearly doesn't work
192.168.1.251.* /var/log/WAP-2.log
which according to the man page, makes sense since this the IP address
is not a facility.
Is there a way to do this that I am missing?
The stock syslog package can't do this. You need rsyslog to make this
happen. You can set up various templates and filters based on the log
file information also. See
http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2007/12/31/centralized-logging-with-centos-and-rsyslog/
for a brief walkthrough on the basics.
In RPMforge we have backported rsyslog packages from RHEL5 to RHEL4. In
this case version 2.0.0-11, but when RHEL5.3 is released (or security
updates are released) I am commited to release them for RHEL4.
