Hmm, did you try tcp transport (if your router does support it)?
It might be better..

What daemon do you use?

we tried to use syslog-ng to receive activity from our border router and 
write a copy locally (in large chunks) and relay the logs to another 
syslog server inside.

we noticed a LOT of missing logs, when we changed to the default debian 
syslogd we were able to handle an order of magnatude more logs without any 
sign of missing logs (from around 100/sec to >1000/sec)
