Sergey,
I believe this is the problem Dale is running into when trying to test
releases with NMAP, Nessus, SAINT, and SARA. Is there a solution that
doesn't require a syslog server?

I probably used the wrong terminology. :(
I was trying to suggest a way to limit the size of the log files on the
router/firewall. I wasn't trying to destroy the logs on the syslog server.

Agreed. :-)
