Quick question, i have a few web servers facing internet, that are
only accesible throug that net. I want to point the logs from those
boxes to my syslog server, but i want to have some kind of encryption.
The thing is that in those boxes i have syslogd, and at my central box
i have syslog-ng. Migrating syslogd to syslog-ng is not an option.

So, ssh tunnels are out of order since syslogd only "talks" udp.

Any suggestion???

Use stunnel [1] or a VPN.
