That depends pretty much on which syslog you use (Linux and Solaris are
different beasts) and how you compiled Pound.

The way we usually do it:

1. compile Pound so it uses LOCAL7 for logging:

./configure --with-log=LOG_LOCAL7 ...

compile, install, configure.

2. define where the messages for local7 should go. In /etc/syslog.conf
(assuming Linux-style syslog):

local7.=info                    /var/log/pound.log
local7.notice                   /var/log/pound.err

so that normal traffic goes to /var/log/pound.log and everything else
goes to /var/log/pound.err

3. make sure it goes nowhere else. For example

*.*;auth,authpriv,local7.none   -/var/log/syslog

(just look for *.something and add local7.none).

Don't forget to tell syslog about the new configuration.

Hope this helps some.
