there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>I would
like to know if this configuration sounds viable to you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>Right
now it's not really operational performance wise.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>What
I'm basically trying to do is to have my syslog server completely synchronized to
the apache access logs of my other servers.<o:p></o:p></p>

client I have this configured:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>This
is just a sample case. Later on I would like to have my server keep an /var/log/apachelogs/

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:left;direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed'>For
some reason I don’t see any traffic passed over the line unless I run a
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload which is really bizzar.<o:p></o:p></p>
