Just keep in mind syslog traffic is in cleartext so its better to have it 
segmented off to a mgmt network or VLAN where it wouldnt' be mixed with 
internal user traffic. If you have another interface on the PIX u could do that 
as well, but if your short on interfaces just plug it into the outside of the 
PIX.(you'll get a message from the pix indicating its not secure to send syslog 
to the outside, but because u have it behind your netscreen which i hope is 
locked down it should be okay. 

On the netscreen you can configure a subinterface or a seperate vlan and have 
it on the same network as the pix. If you are going to have the system in 
between the pix and netscreen i would atleast throw it on linux w/ iptables 
stricly allowing syslog and mgmt traffic only.
