That can be way too noisy. You can do 'regular' logging to pflog0 as
normal but create another interface for the catchall, e.g:

   block  in log (to pflog5)

Set pflog to listen.
        pflogd -i pflog5 -f /var/log/pflog5 -p pflog5

[I need to test if a single instance of pflogd could be used instead.]
Then set newsyslog.conf to was less space with it.

   /var/log/pflog5  root:wheel  640  3  50  *  ZB /var/run/pflogd5.pid
