Running a small daemon which mirrors access.log to the selected log service is the recommended practice. tail -f is not the most suitable tool for the job as it does not handle log rotation. I would use the File::Tail perl module which is much more suited for the job, and if combined with Sys::Syslog the script can do all you need, and you can easily add logics to assign different priorities to different log lines etc..
