<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Folks,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">I haven't yet done the research here by RTFS'ing, so I apologize in advance for uninformed posting… :-)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">I'm looking at syslog-ng as a syslogd replacement in our shop. I'd like to determine in advance if there is a reasonable way to run these in parallel.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">In particular, are there supplied hooks to routines equivalent to syslog(3) in the C library? I understand that I can shut down syslogd and bring up syslog-ng listening to /dev/log, and things will be transparent to production code. I envision an environment where I have the RH syslogd listening to /dev/log, and syslog-ng listening to /dev/log-ng. Using perl and C routines, can I integrate my production code with minimal alterations to selectively use the new facility?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Thanks for any advice,</FONT>
