Can syslogd provide failover redundancy to another box?


yes. man syslogd
man syslog.conf


and i must say - it works. very well for a long time



Should I configure my devices to send to two different syslogd servers? (if 
the devices allow more then one syslogd box to log to.  If not I would like 
to know if the first option is available.)

Sure, why not?  Try man syslog.conf, or read what's already within  
your /etc/syslog.conf file.  You'd just have to set up a rule to send  
off to another server, and configure that server to listen those  
requests, of course.  We do this very thing for our public boxen so  
that there's less worry with log tampering, etc.
