um... We do this on all of our servers. I love being able to tail one single file and get everything going on. Now, we don't do this outside of our local network. But a gig network seems to be able to handle the bandwidth just fine. I'd love a nice tool that would allow us to securely archive log files. And to me it seems that Journal is trying to do both, Archive, and transport. I don't think these two processes should effect each other. We also find that Splunk works pretty for the archiving and searching. As well as getting a hold of log files that don't output to syslog ie. request.log.

splunk is great for searching logs (I have a large cluster of machines for doing exactly this), but in terms of gathering and transporting logs, it's far from the best.
take a look at syslog-ng and rsyslog and the options they have to gather data from log files written by other apps.

those are on my list. It's mostly an issue of upgrading servers at this point to version that support them.
