The easiest way might be to just symlink it from the existing socket with `ln -s ../journal/syslog /run/systemd/journal.my-namespace`... other than that, depends on the syslog daemon, e.g. an additional unix-stream() for syslog-ng or imuxsock for rsyslogd. (The socket for the main namespace is set up through syslog.socket, but not sure whether adding a second ListenStream= would work for that.)
