If you are running two or more DC's are the security event logs synchronized?

More specifically, if I want to monitor logons on the domain do I need to monitor the logs on both AD servers?

No, logons are not synchronized. You have to monitor both DC's. If you want a fast and simple audit tool, you can try ADinfo from CjwDev. This tool looks on both (or more of course). You can use the free version to make nice reports, or the (cheap) payed version to automate and customize your reports.
