Although I have tried to convince my client that this isn¹t exactly the best idea, they want to configure syslog-ng to send logs by broadcast rather than to a specific address on their subnet. Previously the configuration line we used for a specific remote syslog was: destination grouplog { udp(192.168.1.14 port(514)); }; Can syslog-ng actually do udp broadcast, and if so, what would be the appropriate config line to cause this to happen? (I have tried using 192.168.1.255 and 255.255.255.255 and neither seems to do it, although I might not be properly configured on the other end to receive broadcasts...the other end is Mac OSX and it does receive messages just fine if I configure 192.168.1.14, as above.)
