Hi all. We're using stunnel to transport syslog messages from clients to a central log host. During a problem with our firewall, in which the clients lost connection with the log host, I discovered that the syslog clients never seemed to give up trying to contact the log host. This resultet in an enormous amount of connection retires. I'm not sure if this is a feature of TLS or TCP, but if I remember correctly TCP gives up after seven retries. Now I'm worried about what will happen when I bring down the log host for maintenace - will the clients flood the firewalls causing general network problems? I figure I'll need to reduce the retry interval or take some other measures. I anyone know how to go about dealing with this issue I'd greatly appreciate some hints.
