use syslog to send all the logging to a single host.
syslog will use UDP to send the log messages, so some
might get lost if your loghost gets so heavily loaded that
it starts dropping packets....dont let users log into
the loghost.
from the syslog.cong man page:
o A hostname (preceded by an at (``@'') sign). Selected messages are
forwarded to the syslogd program on the named host.
