I don't see any feature like that.

Maybe you can add a syslogd.c switch and add a check for your feature in 
the 
       for (f = Files; f; f = f->f_next) {
loop in the logmsg() routine to break so it only processes it one time?

Or maybe we can help you with your syslog.conf configuration? Is something 
not working how you want it? (If so share an example.)
