Forward apache log as syslog messages

I have an apache installation on linux server. I want to forward error log entries as syslog to a remote syslog server. This is the configuration I made:

On the Linux server:

[file httpd.conf], line added:

LogLevel crit

ErrorLog syslog

[file syslog.conf] line added:

local7.crit /var/log/apache.crit

[root@localhost root]# killall -HUP syslogd

[root@localhost root]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart

[file syslog.conf] line added

local7.crit @192.168.1.1

I don't see any syslog messages on 192.168.1.1 . The upd port 514 is open. What's wrong?

Thx
