I would let each machine log on their own local disk, using a piped
logger such as cronolog <http://www.cronolog.org/> and then I would
write a wrapper script to transfer one machine's log file(s) to the
other and use the logresolvemerge utility from awstats
<http://www.awstats.org> to put the logs together and do analytics.
