title: Log to remote syslog server with Ruby
body: <p>I would like to create logs to a Syslog Server (Kiwi Syslog Server, to be more precise) from ruby.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to log ruby or rails stuff to the syslog server. I want to create a pre-define log message when an event occurrs and log this to a remote server using their Kiwi Syslog Server.</p>
  
  <p>Any clue on how to do that? (I'm using ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.14)</p>
