How to re-direct all logs to a second flash drive

My dockstar works fine with debian squeeze running asterisk, lighttpd, samba and cups. It looks like that there are many logging activities in the /var/log directory. To reduce the flash drive wearing, I would like to re-direct all the logs to another flash drive. Is there a way to mount or link /var/log to another drive? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: found the answer. Please ignore. Thanks.

It would be nice if you can post the solution also here. Thanks.

Mounting the /var directory on the second drive, through /etc/fstab should be it. Copying everything over from the existing /var-directory before using the new drive is needed, if you want to use the trick on a system that was already used. And then rename the old dir, just to make sure.

That should be all that is needed to make it work, if I didn't forget something.

This is basically what I did. I mount the second drive to /var/log directory in rc.local file. Probably using /etc/fstab file would be better.
