Yes, although I no longer have access to either the slightly modified
codebase or the production results. It worked well, however, shared
between 8 servers with a pair of collectors. There was a slight lag to
log processing as each listener piped the log arrivals through a Perl
script (running in a "while (<>)" loop), did $magic with them, and put
them in the right users' logfiles.

I'm saying that having each realserver act as a logging host for all the
rest won't scale. Beyond a pair, having a dedicated syslog host (or
indeed more than one, for robust logging) is the way forward, as you
say.
