That would work. However I think you could also have logrotate use a socket for logging (at least -ng). What you might really want to look into is splunk or graylog2 (or the other solutions I can never remember). Also, socat is another solution for playing with device io. I don't believe dealing with vt is the right solution however. Also keep in mind none of these solutions will encrypt the stream - use stunnel or similar here.
