Getting Data In

Is there a sample configuration available for intermediate forwarding? (application servers -> intermediate forwarder -> indexers)

In my use case, I need to forward logs from application servers to intermediate forwarders, then from the intermediate forwarder to Splunk Indexers. Can anybody help me in providing a sample configuration file for this?
