I have a Dell PE1750 running SuSE Linux 9.1 Pro, which I'd like to turn into a syslog server. Since I can only have 8 local facilities (local0 - local7), which are not enough for all the devices we have on the network, I need to run multiple syslogd daemons. Is this feasible, & how do I do it? Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I would do as follows: Possibility one: syslog offers sortalgorithms for sorting text into logfiles files sort entries by host in their own logs. Possibility two: Let syslog log all into one file or the normal setup files and sort later with a logparser, like analog or whatever you like. the output is much smaller, than the whole logfile. !!!Be careful!!! With this setup you have to rotate more often than normal and then run logparser on the gzipped file after it has been rotated (script needed). I hope this helps.
