Adding something such as 

~ # grep -i pflog /etc/rc.local
echo -n "pflog -> syslog"
ifconfig pflog0 up
tcpdump -s 96 -l -e -t -i pflog0 | logger -p local0.info -t pf &
~ #
~ #
~ # grep local0.info /etc/syslog.conf
local0.info                                     /var/log/pflog.txt
local0.info                                     @loghost

Dynamically add loghost as appropriate,


May be a quick win to get firewall logs off the box and onto to something
else on the network via syslog. 

Personally I use kiwi syslog with some filters to provide separate displays
of Pass In, Pass Out and Block traffic.

About 12 months ago, I knocked up an exceedingly nasty perl hack to massage
PF log output into a form digestible by http://www.sonic.net/wallwatcher/,
wasn't really impressed with the overhead though. 

It might be worth emailing the author with some sample logs and ask him to
add PF support.
