subnet1  
server send logs - \> logstash 1 -\> central logstash

subnet2

i use filebeat for each server for shipping log to logstash server . i think lumberjack or logstash forwarder old version of filebeat. is that right?

Yes, logstash-forwarder is the predecessor to Filebeat and it uses the lumberjack protocol that the lumberjack plugins for Logstash also uses. That protocol is similar to the beats protocol.
