Forward to Splunk indexer, then forwarded from Splunk server to another server

If I were to forward syslog messages to a Splunk server and then from there forwarded to another server, would my syslog messages be changed in any way (due to the indexing)? If so, is there any way to do the forwarding I described while also preserving the syslog messages?

Check this out! http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.1/Forwarding/Forwarddatatothird-partysystemsd - It forwards the "raw" text, so it should come across unchanged.
