Sure.

BTW: another approach would be to configure your daemons to use a
syslog facility other from their defaults, and then log by facility
as desired. E.g. my dhcpd uses local6, named logs with local7, and
syslog.conf contains

[...]
*.info;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,local0,local1,local2,local3,local4,local5,local6,local7.none                                /var/log/messages
[...]
local6.debug                                            /var/log/dhcpd
local7.debug                                            /var/log/named
[...]
