Any ideas of what those might be just curious what the highend stuff is 
doing. If I was faced with more then 50hosts I would probably go back to 
flat files in a tree

hostname->Month/year->day->rawlogs

Then you just have to develop some search scripts that can handle 
digging down the tree and making the results pretty [for the VP's since 
many would just use grep off the commandline].
