I have added TCP support to OpenBSD syslogd to make logging reliably. It buffers up to 256k in memory and reconnects until it can reach a server. This should address your use case. It is not perfect yet, it still drops messages in the buffer when it receives a SIGHUP. Will be fixed later and should not happen on localhost. bluhm
