My goal is to enable Apache to log large access_log entries (> 1024 chars) to a syslog-ng server.  The vast majority of examples I've seen for connecting Apache to syslog-ng employ the ancient /usr/bin/logger -- but that approach chops up messages longer than 1024 chars.  The alternative approach is to use a perl/python script, but I'm nervous about the overhead.  Anyone know of an updated logger binary?

Thanks for any pointers,
