RFC 3164 i.e. the BSD Syslog protocol allows a client to send multiple datagrams to different Hosts. In a clustered environment, datagrams can be lost. Has anyone considered using a IP multicast socket for sending messages to multiple hosts ? Is there a draft proposal In this regard. Also, as I understand, there is no retransmisson support like in SNMP. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome.
