[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng newbie.

[Evan Rempel]

If at all possible you should have the application (nginx in this case) 
to log directly to syslog if it can.
nginx can do this with the caveat that you will no longer have files of 
logs. You should have syslog write
the logs to a file.

See document at
http://nginx.org/en/docs/syslog.html

The the nginx logs will show up in /var/log/XXXX depending on which log 
files your syslog daemon is configured to write.
(syslog, messages etc.)
