Not unique - I get around similar challengs with side-by-side SSH
instances on a wide screen ...

But if it is a frequent need, I'd suggest moving BOTH to syslogd's
responsibility, then using rsyslog or such to copy one or the other onto
the opposite box - or a third box.

Contenating into the same file would be more work (probable format
diff?) and possibly even counterproductive for different daemons, but
once on the same box wtail or multitail might help.
