heya, I have a number of different networks under my control and I am sure like many other people on this list, they are not all routable from one to the other. My problem is that I would like to have a central syslog server that all our machines log back to (yes I know there are other architectures I can use to get around this problem but for the moment I want to try to do it like this for some particular reasons). Given that there is no one network that can route to all others or visa versa, I am wondering what type of udp relays people in similar situations use. I should say that on each network there is in effect at least one machine that has visibility of another network, thus meaning you CAN get from one network to another so long as you authenticate to a socks/ firewall first. I have looked about for some good udp relays but I cant really find any. As far as I can tell syslog-ng doesnt support socks so I am looking for alternatives ... regards, -------------------- Benjamin Smee Technical Specialist Optus Business Operations (NAC) "YES" OPTUS ben.smee@optus.net.au Tel: +61-2-93420091 Fax: +61-2-93420998 Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves. -- Gandalf the White
