Hm.. syslog-ng should behave exactly what you described, e.g. it should start up and continue connecting to the remote host.
I've just checked it myself and it works.
And what if the remote host is not within a reachable network at the moment syslog-ng starts?
It does not matter. Whatever error happens, it is logged and a timer is started to reconnect to the target host. The reconnect timeout is controlled by time_reopen() global option, IIRC it is 60seconds by default. And yes, it works for both UDP and TCP. -- Bazsi
