Basically, on each individual server, the only active line you need is
Code:
*.*       @syslog.my.company.server

You do the filtering/splitting on the the receiving server. If you match the message multiple times, you will record it multiple times. Do you have an example of the duplicated messages? If they are in different files, then remember that you are usually recording messages that are of the specified level and above, e.g. *.info will also pick up *.warn messages. You can specifically exclude hight levels, if that's what you want.

This link is useful. Sending Messages to a Remote Syslog Server

I would suggest using a DNS address in case you want to move your central syslog server, however some people worry that this requires the address to resolve as the rsyslogd starts, so I know that many people use a plain IP address.


I hope that this helps,
Robin

syslog

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.
