Centralized logging server...

[Sam]

Yep...I'm planning on using SysLogHandler.  Although if I were to use
rsyslog, for example, I might potentially be better off using tcp or
even doing it using rfc 3195.  Sysloghandler uses udp...I imagine that
will be faster but with less reliability.  I'll have to think about
that.  Has anyone implemented a library for rfc 3195, or would I have
to do that from scratch.

I was more curious as to what people are using to receive the
messages?  Syslog-ng?  traditoinal?  rsyslog?  Home grown solutions?

I know syslog is already running, but I'm not sure the traditional
version could keep up with all the traffic I'm going to have.  Anyone
know how well it scales compared to the alternatives?

Thanks
Sam
