Trey,
There is no built-in function in NSM to send encrypted syslog. You would
need to either write it to a file locally and use a 3rd party method to
syslog it, or use a VPN tunnel between the two servers. As you know, NSM is
running on Linux or Solaris, so either of the above should be possible.
Regards,
Jon
