You might be able to contrive some solution by using
'log_file_path = syslog' and '+incoming_interface' in your log_selector,
then doing something cunning with syslog-ng.

I don't know if syslog-ng is versatile enough to do what you'd be asking
of it, and I suspect you may need to lobby Phil to include the incoming
interface on more than just '<=' lines, although the bits in green in
the spec imply that maybe that's already been done.
