Additional Comments

Installed using WineTricks VERSION=20091125 (IE7).
Downgraded to wine version to 1.1.31 to install jre-6u17-windows-i586.exe.
This is due to a regression in wine 1.1.32 - 1.1.34.
After install upgrade back to 1.1.34.
Added real XP Dll's to system32:
msctf.dll,msimtf.dll,oelpro32.dll,uxtheme.dll,xmllite.dll

Used winetricks to install:
comctl32,comctl32,corefonts,fontfix, gdiplus,msls31,msxml3-4 & 6,riched20 & 30,tahoma,allfonts

Used winecfg to set DLL Overrides:
"browseui"="native,builtin"
"comctl32"="builtin"
"crypt32"="native,builtin"
"dispex"="native,builtin"
"gdiplus"="native"

This made IE7 much more functional.

        udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};
filter f_router  { facility(local3); };
 ###ROUTER IP###
filter f_A { host("1.1.1.1"); };
filter f_B { host("2.2.2.2"); };
filter f_C { host("3.3.3.3"); };
###UNKNOWN ROUTER###
filter f_unknown { not ( filter(f_A)
                        or filter(f_B)
                        or filter(f_C) ); };
###LOG FILE LOCATIOM###
destination A { file("/var/www/netlog/A.log"  perm(0644) sync(10) ); };
destination B { file("/var/www/netlog/B.log" perm(0644) sync(20) ); };
destination C { file("/var/www/netlog/C.log" perm(0644) sync(20) ); };
destination unknown { file("/var/www/netlog/unknown.log" perm(0644) sync(10) ); };
###LOG SETTING###
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_router); filter(f_A); destination(A); };
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_router); filter(f_B); destination(B); };
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_router); filter(f_C); destination(C); };
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_router); filter(f_unknown); destination(unknown); };

6. Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables and Add

9. service iptables restart & service syslog-ng restart & service httpd restart
10. chkconfig --level 3456 syslog-ng on
11. Edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng

/var/www/netlog/*.log {
    daily
