We’ve got a client looking into moving to IPv6 and
their asking if syslog-ng support IPv6. My initial response is sure
if the OS supports IPv6 (Solaris in this case, which it does). However,
there are some address centric parameters in the configuration file that might
be affected by IPv6. I checked the FAQ but didn’t find anything on
the search. Does anyone know if IPv6 support works with syslog-ng?
BTW, this is a large network which will have lots of legacy
IPv4 networks that it will have to connect to as well so this isn’t going
to happen within the next year. It’s more of a planning question so
they can start mapping out the change.
