Add a static route from router B to A for the syslog server host
address.  Assuming you're using rfc1918 addresses on your private net,
this will not cause problems from external networks.  Apply an appropriate
ACL on B if you're concerned about others from your own routable network
seeing router B.

Of course, this also assumes that routers A and B are directly connected.
