As for the ciscos: They report all things via syslog.
As for ipfilter on FreeBSD: Via ipmon you can utilize syslog.
As for the web servers: Which one are you running? Apache can be talked into to
 log via syslog. I checked for IIS 4 (we are still running some of them here
*sigh*) - it can of course not log to anything else then to a file. Perhaps IIS
5 can do it - or you are not running IIS at all (if you are lucky).

For the questions:
1) I'm not a code monkey anymore. That was some years back in time ;). But the
functionality and handling of syslog-ng is ok for me. The quality of the code
is better approved by someone else.
2) Analog is quite handy. Originaly it is a web server log analyser. Some
people wrote scripts that you can analyse your ipf/BIND/sendmail/qmail/postfix
as if they were web logs. Or you write your own script to convert your logs to
what you want. Or use Perl and time to create a log tool to match _your_
requirements. The requierements may differ extremly.

Just my 2 cent.
