What happens if the network or some other part of the infrastructure goes down such that one of the nodes can't communicate with the master? Do you loose log messages? Does the node block?
What happens when the master fills it's log disk, do all the clients block? You're going to need a temporary buffer, i.e. a log file, on each node and some error recovery strategy. The easiest thing to do would be to write a scheduled proc which scans the existing log file from the previous seek point up to the current end of file. You could use ns_httppost etc. to send back packets of log data.
