Most robust would be to have the syslog server be a broadcast address on a small subnet, where there are two LINUX boxes providing redundant syslog service. Syslog should use udp packets, so both machines will log the same packets.

Logging on every syslog server is controlled by the configuration file, which specifies key filters for each configured output file.
Man Page for syslog.conf (all Section 4) - The UNIX and Linux Forums
Man Page for syslogd (all Section 1m) - The UNIX and Linux Forums

If the syslog is configured remote, the local server should not be seeing the packets, unless it is double-logging.

I usually google for tutorials to get started.

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
