How to pipe varnishncsa entries?

I have varnishncsa happily logging away to itself with the following in
/etc/default/varnishncsa
DAEMON_OPTS="-a \
-c \
-D \
-F '%{Host}i %{X-Forwarded-For}i %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b
\"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\"' \
-m 'TxHeader:Server: Varnish/3' \
-P ${PIDFILE} \
-w /var/log/varnish/varnishncsa.log"
and by changing:
if start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--chuid $USER --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS} \
> ${output} 2>&1; then
to:
if bash -c "start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
--chuid $USER --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS} \
> ${output} 2>&1"; then
in /etc/init.d/varnishncsa to allow the sending of parameters with
whitespace in from DAEMON_OPTS.
In *addition* to logging locally, I'd like to pipe the same custom format
log entries to syslog for remote centralised logging, using this pipe:
|/usr/bin/logger -t varnishncsa.log -p local0.info
Is this possible? If so, how? Ideally I'd like the command within
DAEMON_OPTS, but my efforts so far haven't resulted in any output to syslog.
I'm already successfully using a version of the same pipe to put Apache logs
to syslog.
