One thing I've wondered about in the past, for a fleeting moment
anyway, was the possibility of being able to configure different
events to be logged to different facilities. Kinda like:

#define LOG_DB_FACILITY LOG_LOCAL6
#define LOG_SASL_FACILITY LOG_LOCAL6
#define LOG_ACCESS_FACILITY LOG_LOCAL6

Though, probably more work than it'd be worth. And of course there's
syslog-ng anyway.
