(RADIATOR) Logging to file without open/close per message

Radiator opens, writes and closes all files (logging, accounting, etc).

As you say, you can either use a Log SYSLOG, or Log SQL.

BTW - most of our customers use the Log SQL and log to the same 
database as they use for customer information and accounting.
