You could do many things.. you want a load balancer in front of them. HAproxy should be able to this for you i suppose. But if you want something simple just put in both in dns under the same name an let it just hit what t hits.
Why cant 1 rsyslog do what you need? We are pushing 50mbyte/sec to a single server in each DC. We are then forwarding that same data to hadoop. So hadoop is were our log data is actually merged. As far as syncing the files... without hadoop. you could use gluster or clvm but this assuming your network bandwidth is not too high for the volume. Im not the best rsyslog expert but thats how i would solve it given i had the resources.
