It would really help my little network if I could set the Syslog facility type in my 655. It's currently fixed in firmware to "security" (also known as "remoteauth" to some Syslog servers), facility=13 rather than the more common local0 or local1 (facility=16 or 17). In any case, it would be nice if I could set it to whatever facility I need in the Tools/Syslog configuration screen, which is currently pretty empty.

(And why I want to do it, is I have multiple firewalls and devices sending stuff to a single Syslog server, and being able to shuffle messages off to their appropriate individual log files is greatly aided by being able to set a given devices facility type).

Thanks for considering this; I realize this verges pretty close to a pro feature, not a home feature. I'm hoping it's actually so easy to implement, that you won't just dismiss the request as out of hand.

Your last statement is certainly close to the truth 

And looking at the router's lifecycle I doubt that such a feature will be implemented at this stage. But: I'm not Dlink
