</div></div>Yep, it is.<br>
<br>
One way to do it is to use filters: you set up a filter that matches<br>
each colo, and set up your destinations so that each message that<br>
matches a given colo filter, goes to the appropriate relay.<br>
<br>
Something along these lines:<br>
<br>
filter f_colo_sj { host("^sj"); };<br>
filter f_colo_du { host("^du"); };<br>
filter f_colo_da { host("^da"); };<br>
<br>
destination d_relay_sj { ... };<br>
...<br>
<br>
log {<br>
source(s_local);<br>
filter(f_colo_sj);<br>
destination(d_relay_sh);<br>
flags(final);<br>
};<br>
<br>
log {<br>
source(s_local);<br>
filter(f_colo_du);<br>
destination(d_relay_du);<br>
flags(final);<br>
};<br>
<br>
...and so on and so forth. The disadvantage here is that you need a<br>
filter and a destination for each relay, but with only 3 relays, that's<br>
bearable.<br>
