Put local0.none in the /var/log/messages entry to stop the router entries from showing up there. So after you changes it would look like this:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;local0.none
/var/log/messages
Default redhat syslogd
/etc/sysconfig/syslog
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-x"
SYSLOG_UMASK=077
/etc/syslog.conf
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
# Chandler.azinterlock.com
local0.*
/var/log/azinterlock.chandler.juniper.log
