You can forward them to another machine. Add a line like this to your 
syslog.conf:

*.*		@hostname

And then on the other machine change syslogd to accept (udp log packets) 
connections from other machines by removing the '-s' flags.

Of course if someone is really messing around they'll be able to send 
bogus logs to your other logging machine too.

Cheers,
Nate
