I think the last line of the server conf file is redundant. You don't need this. Another thing: you can add the flag(final); statement to each of the log entries so that no log will be stored more than once if it matches multiple filters.
Thanks

SYSLOG(8) System Logging SYSLOG(8)
NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd
DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd
The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
But this depends on the software selection during the installation.
The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.
The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
