Syslog to log remote nodes

Hi:

I want my syslog to log remote nodes, in particular my access point and 
router, which authenticates users against my freeradius server.

In /etc/rc.conf I've got:
syslogd_flags="-C -a 192.168.0.0/23 -a 172.16.0.0/23 -vv"

In /etc/syslog.conf I've got first the entries for the system, no 
networked clients specified,

...
local0.*                                        /var/log/radius.log
...
# Remote systems
+172.16.0.0/23
*.info                                          /var/log/wlan.log
+192.168.0.254
*.info                                          /var/log/router.log

Surprise, I've got my access point logs in the radius log file, not in 
the wlan.log,

snip radius.log:

Apr 10 17:54:15 <local0.notice> ap airport 80211: Rotated TKIP group key.
Apr 10 18:02:19 <local0.notice> ap airport ntp: Clock synchronized to 
network time server ntp.locolomo.org (adjusted -1 seconds).
Apr 10 18:43:11 <local0.info> alpha radiusd[79800]: Loaded virtual 
server inner-tunnel
Apr 10 18:43:11 <local0.info> alpha radiusd[79800]: Loaded virtual 
server <default>

The "ap" is the access point.

I haven't got anything in router.log and can't really figure where it 
has ended up.

What's wrong with my syslog.conf?

Thanks, Erik
