if your syslog server runs syslog-ng yes. Last I checked the
normal syslog server did not have such support.

I think they only go to the syslog server though I've only
configured syslog.conf in this manor

if you were do have the above in addition to the standard stuff
it may go in both places.....but I doubt it.

combined with syslog-ng, logrotate, and logcheck it works great.

syslog-ng has the added benefit of being able to specify ports as
well as use TCP. e.g systems outside my firewall log to my firewall
on port 24350/tcp which is forwarded into my syslog server.
