Whichever is configured to read from /dev/log (at least on Linux - other
systems might use some different device underneath) will end up with the
log messages.

If both are configured to read from there, then whichever opens it
first will win.

(Or in other words: use syslog-ng, replace your standard syslogd with it
;)
