Okay, okay, jk - would be slick tho :D
I was actually thinking of doing that pretending to be syslog-ng though :P Because honestly the logs come in and they have an identifier so you could essentially pretend to be syslog-ng and gather logs from many servers remotely. I still might work on something along those lines still as it might prove to be more feasible in a ladder with a larger amount of servers. The only thing that stopped me is my language of choice(php) is still a little shaky with threading and you most certainly will have to use multiple threads to handle many connections at least I wouldn't think you would. Then again I've never created a php script that really accept many connections at a time either...
