Syslogdeamon in a cluster

Hi managers,
I am trying to set up a Veritas Cluster environment for some SunFire
Servers.
The tendency is avoiding access to the system controller, that is why we
need a
admin cluster solution.
During the boot process, the system controller forwards messages to the
syslog daemon
but in a cluster environment we run in problems when one machine dont have
any access
to the storage because the storage is mounted by the other machine on the
cluster.
OK let us assume one system contoller forwards a message to one virtual IP,
this IP belogs now to one server (one member of the cluster environment) and
this server goes down (for any reason),
automaticly the IP goes to the other member on the cluster environment and
the failed machine goes up again and the syslog daemon tries to write
messages to the mounted storage but this mount point is not available now
because it is passed to the other member, the local syslogd beginns to
generate errors.
What can I do to avoid such errors and assume that all messages are dumped
to a file?
How can I improve failover with a syslog daemon in a cluster environment?

Thank you in advance

Yours sincerely,

Ramiro Santos
