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