> or | log file to another network volume: help needed

My UNIX skills amount to "Google,Copy,Paste..." but I managed to get a useful log file generated by an automation system that runs 24/7. The log file exists on an Omneon Media Grid server where I monitor it via "tail -F /..." Unfortunately we have many workstations running Tiger 10.4.8 still and they can not mount the Omneon. There is a common Xsan volume I could use but I can't find a reliable way of syncing the log from Omneon to Xsan so that I can monitor via tail on Tiger (no pun intended). I've messed around with echo, piping and tee but I'm getting nowhere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory...] DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are logged to this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the replicas are removed. The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only. If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified directories are displayed. OPTIONS
-h num Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -t num Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -v Verbose mode. FILES
