I like multilog from the daemontools pkg.  It is an extra process,
and it does require a filter program to translate the timestamp into
readable form, but it means never having to hup the server, and never
losing a log message, and never having your logs run you out of space.

Doesn't have wild-cards, though.  You need to set it up for each
service that you're logging.

Cheers,
