Off the top of my head, there are two scenarios that I see this  
useful in:
- Forwarding log messages to a secure syslog server, on a non- 
privileged port (I think everyone agrees that reducing the number of  
root-run services is a good thing).
- Logging to a remote syslog over a local port, forwarded over an ssh  
tunnel (To an off-site centralized logging server, for example),  
while still having local logging enabled.

I have been looking for this type of functionality for a little while  
now. I was about to look into coding it. Thanks! :)
