    What about setting up a GRE tunnel to the central log server?  At
    least then the individual systems could still send their syslog
    messages the regular way, via UDP packet, and you'd have some
    assurance when the packet arrived that it wasn't spoofed (or at
    least it wasn't trivially spoofed :-).
