Radiator syslog does not do spooling.

I would configure Radiator to sent to local syslog and let the local 
rsyslogd do forwarding and spooling.

If you decide to use this option, please let us know how it goes.

I wasn't aware that rsyslogd has this functionality. It seems like a 
good candidate for a suggested configuration when remote syslog is needed.
