Writing to the "@hostname" sends it to the syslogd of the host specified
I haven't tried but can you have send to "@hostname" and have it copy to 
a file via /etc/syslogd.conf?

% Hi Micheal,
% 
% As a bit of help, Solaris's syslogd can very easily log information 
% locally as well as send it to remote machines.  The man pages are 
% actually pretty good, believe it or not, but the general idea is that you 
% specify type of message(es) just as normal, but instead of giving it a 
% file name to append to or a username to "write" to, you give it a remote 
% host, with the syntax of "@hostname" and it will send each message of the 
% specified facility.level to that host.  That host will then deal with the 
% message according to it's own /etc/syslogd.conf file.
% 
% Good luck!
