Dan Bernstein's multilog sort of has what you need for file size limits. All his stuff just uses pipes, so you can stick it in a syslog-ng config easily. It's not really circular, as when the file hits it's limit, it gets rotated. The current file is always called the same thing, so it should suit.

Hey Folks, Can syslog-ng do circular logging? If you are wondering what I mean by that, I'm referring to writing messages to a file, and when the destination reaches a limit, old messages are removed so the new ones can hang around for a bit. The limit could be file size, message date or time, or something else perhaps. For my needs, I would love to set a file size limit. Say 20megs per destination file.
