I am not aware of a single package that will do all that you want, but a
combination of a few packages should get you there. I use syslog-ng for
aggregating logs from many servers, and I think it far surpasses the
standard udp syslog daemon for reliability. Running logcheck and/or

It's far more powerful in filtering too. When pump was filling my
/var with meaningless logging, syslog-ng was very easy to configure to
/dev/null them.
