You have two basic choices here -
a) use syslogd to be your remote network access method
b) write your own code to remotely access a networked method
I would also recommend that you make a commitment to which
of them you plan to use rather than *.info - at which point
you can actually work out a reasonable PM that is your site
specific implementation of all of this - complete with an
installer that will do the modification of the /etc/syslogd.conf
with a 'loghost aware' approach....
I'll be honest - I'm not 'sold' on trying to turn syslogd
into a network middleware solution - having done it, it has
both upsides and downsides....
