Sure, why not? Try man syslog.conf, or read what's already within
your /etc/syslog.conf file. You'd just have to set up a rule to send
off to another server, and configure that server to listen those
requests, of course. We do this very thing for our public boxen so
that there's less worry with log tampering, etc.
