My central linux loghost handles about 50-60 hosts and usually the total transfer is about 500 megs/day, but when the mail server freaked out once I received over 2 gigs from one host in a matter of hours. Syslog-ng never had any trouble - but ext2fs stopped logging when the individual logfiles hit 2 gigs ;)

I'd say you'll be fine.
