Remote syslogging with multiple interfaces

Hi all, I have two interfaces on my sensors - a dedicated sniffing interface and a dedicated management interface. The sniffing interfaces cannot talk on the network. I'd like to send syslog events to a remote management machine. However, snort is running on the sniff interface (eth1), and I believe it's trying to send the syslog stuff out that interface. This doesn't work. Is there any way to get snort to sniff on one interface and send syslog events on another? I'm using: output alert_syslog: host=192.168.40.104:514, LOG_AUTH LOG_ALERT in snort.conf rather than using -s on the command line ( -s wouldn't allow me to run snort since the interface didn't have an IP). I would imagine that this would just work without having to mess around with interfaces, but I am not seeing any events on my management box or out of tcpdump -i eth1 on the snort sensor.
