[syslog-ng]udp relays

heya,

I have a number of different networks under my control and I am sure
like many other people on this list, they are not all routable from one
to the other. My problem is that I would like to have a central syslog
server that all our machines log back to (yes I know there are other
architectures I can use to get around this problem but for the moment I
want to try to do it like this for some particular reasons). Given that
there is no one network that can route to all others or visa versa, I am
wondering what type of udp relays people in similar situations use. I
should say that on each network there is in effect at least one machine
that has visibility of another network, thus meaning you CAN get from
one network to another so long as you authenticate to a socks/ firewall
first.

I have looked about for some good udp relays but I cant really find any.
As far as I can tell syslog-ng doesnt support socks so I am looking for
alternatives ...

regards,
