This would depend on the Oracle software. Syslog is a set of system functions which are called by the software to create syslog entries. These entries are received by the syslogd and written to the various destinations, depending on the configuration in "/etc/syslog.conf". To generate a syslog entry is the job of the application (or "facility" in syslogs wording), the syslogd just directs this to some place.
I'm no Oracle expert, so i don't know if Oracle can do this. It should be possible to write a small daemon program doing exactly what you want via syslogs mechanisms (that is: using the correct system calls, ...) in case Oracel provides no such service. I suppose this would be a better solution than to "mechanically" write into some file with some syslog-unaware means.
Forcefully overriding system mechanisms will cause trouble sooner or later, is my experience.
I hope this helps.
