What do you mean by using syslog directly? The syslog(3) library
function also just sends messages to a "syslog listener" (more commonly
called a syslog daemon) - at least on any unix-like system I'm familiar
with (which doesn't include MacOS). It will, however, always use the
*local* syslog daemon - AFAIK there is no standard way to open a remote
connection (many syslog daemons can be configured to forward messages to
a remote server, however).
