I use syslog-ng's date facilities. Something like

  destination blah { file("/var/log/blah-$YEAR-$MONTH"); }

No need to ever HUP syslog. Files can still be moved to
storage/compressed by a simple homegrown script. It may also help to
have it keep a symlink /var/log/blah pointing to the latest
incarnation.
