The config files are being pushed out by puppet, so keeping the files themselves separate makes life much easier because we can use two different templates. We also don't *want* all logs processed by all rules, since we don't want the logs coming from the client to be logged on the disk of the aggregation server. That was the first iteration I tried and would be a great way to fill up the local disks on the aggregators with information we don't want to keep there.

I took the queue configuration lines from the hosted syslog site's suggestions page.

david> All of this would be obvious with the new style config.

Okay, I'm not at all clear on how to write what I need in the new style config. Suggestions on how to translate?
