Remote Syslog?

[Ben Ricker <bricker@wellinx.com>]

A fellow admin and I are trying to setup remote syslogging to a central
log server. We have gotten a log client to log to /var/log/messages on
the central log server, but we are unsure if you can somehow specify
what log file you want the messages to go to. We have setup router
remote logging using local assignments, but we cannot seem to find the
way to do this for servers.

We have thought we could write a script that periodically moves entries
for each box and moves it to a file, but you run into the issue of
integrity: syslog was written to make sure it writes correct log entries
while our script may not.

Any ideas? Even a third-party program would do....
