    This has been discussed in depth on the LogAnalysis mailing list
    (everything from alternative servers to a complete
    rewrite of the syslog protocol to accomodate more flexibility)

    http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis

    For direct product hints, I suggest you take a look at Syslog-NG.
    http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/
    It's a clear favourite of mine. Very flexible.

    Then we have msyslog from CORE-SDI. Supports some crypto stuff as well,
    but I think syslog-ng may be preferable in your case.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/msyslog/

    There are certainly several others out there with varying
    quality (there are even a bunch that run on NT/W2K, but I won't
    go into that, this being a Sun mailing list and all...)

    HTH,
