What I suspect will happen is we'll have operations wanting to get the 
logs (for error checking and so on) on one machine (1.2.3.200) and I'll 
want to see "interesting" events on another machine (perhaps 
1.2.3.201). I have a feeling that John's method will work for that.

What I would *really* like is to have a sort of reflector architecture, 
where the 10.* machines multicast on the local net, a couple of 
redundant failover machines reflect these logs over the internet to 
another network, and a couple of redundant receiving machines over 
there reflect these packets into a multicast onto *their* local 
network. But I'm not sure that's possible without writing my own 
program to do the "reflect" part (I'm sure it's possible if I do that).
