I frequently need to compare two syslog type files from different machines.

I'm in search of a solution to help me do this.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to intersperse the two files into one display
with color coding.
Something like:
*Blue* 2007/05/01 07:38:46 System 1 event.
*Red*  2007/05/01 07:39:23 System 2 event.
*Blue* 2007/05/01 07:45:18 System 1 event.
*Blue* 2007/05/01 07:48:58 System 1 event.
*Red*  2007/05/01 07:56:38 System 2 event.

I don't really need the changes between them ala diff, I need to be able
to see them both at the same time. Side by side display would be ok, as
long as the timestamps could be reasonably matched up.
A bonus would be if the program could "adjust" the timestamps for those
systems whose clocks are not in sync.
