Apart from the fact that Python 2.4.1 is unsupported on Zope 2.7.6,  
have you looked at the logger section in zope.conf? You can configure  
a syslog loghandler for any log and send the logging output to a  
syslog server. See zope.conf and <zope>/lib/python/zLOG/component.xml  
for the configuration knobs.
