Comment (by anarcat):

 weasel provided some answers on IRC, here's what I gathered:

  1. purpose: redundancy and security (if a host crashes or is compromised,
 we have traces somewhere that's more realtime than backups)
  2. syslogd is fine, DSA has syslog-ng code that does this
  3. we still log on the nodes
  4. probably not, but i'm not sure
  5. i don't know
