(I did the same thing for some JBoss logging I was handling - it was
easier to force it to be local5 than to enforce particular and unique
strings!).

To handle either case, just send both streams to the same file - send
local7 to dhcpd.log followed by &~, then send "dhcpd" messages to
dhcpd.log and &~.

Is the ":msg,contains" problem that the dhcpd tag is followed by the PID
then the colon? If so, the ":programname,isequal" fix I suggested
should work better.
