I am not using your firewall package, but you might try looking for
ulogd and using the ULOG target instead of LOG in your iptables rules.
This will log all the firewall stuff separately from the kernel
messages.

Another approach is to add the "-c3" option to where syslogd is started
in your distro. This tells syslogd not to log kernel messages less than
I believe the info priority, but possibly its notice. Happy hacking.
