Re: RFC 3164 i.e. BSD Syslog Protocol

[Eliot Lear <lear@xxxxxxxxx>]

In theory there's no reason multicast SYSLOG shouldn't work.  The packet 
format doesn't need to change and you just need to bind to a multicast 
socket.  I haven't any idea how implementations will currently behave.

But you're addressing two separate problems- distribution and 
reliability.  Reliability is addressed with SYSLOG/BEEP, which I believe 
is a Proposed Standard (RFC 3195).
