I would look for some other attributes of the messages. If you can't add the
program field, and nothing else about the messages are unique, you might be
in trouble.

As a last resort I've made particular hosts or types of devices (UNIX vs.
network devices) send to different ports or IPs on the syslog box, then my
source has an entirely different subset of messages. Perhaps that is an
option.
