IMHO, you should use NFLOG or ULOG combined with ulogd or ulogd2. It is
easy to have the daemon logging into a separate file. Furthermore, the
performance are far better with the [NF|U]LOG system because it is
possible to use a threshold (via the --nflog-threshold for example).

This idea make sense but I don't think it has to be linked with firewall
on big network.
