I don't think so. AIX, Linux should behave the same, only one of the
running syslog processes will receive messages. Usually the one started
later will be the winner.

Under Solaris both syslog daemons might work simultaneously (as it uses
a STREAMS device which might be opened multiple times, AIX, Linux uses a
UNIX domain socket, HP-UX a pipe, all of which can only have a single
reader)
