Like in a lot of places, try it with no restrictions, then tighten
it to get what you want/need. This of course is the case if you
_haven't_ restarted syslogd ("service syslogd restart").
Try something like this first, to prove the concept, then tune it
down:
*.* / /var/log/routerlog
If you restart it and it starts filling up, then start chosing your
keywords. I don't know any off the top of my head, but they're in the
kernel documentation, surely.
Just don't forget the restart.
