Centralized syslog server

I had a need to forward syslog messages coming into one syslog server to another "Central" syslog server but since the server was running Solaris, the post was removed last week from this forum. I disagree with that because not all of my boxes are HPUX and this is a forum to share technical tips on the unix enviroment. I come here because there are some sharp technical folks that frequent this forum and I can almost always come away with a solution.
Sorry, but I just needed to vent...

See the attached /etc/syslog.conf file which shows how to log messages coming from, in my case, Cisco devices to another syslog server. See that last line which forward these message to another host.
