[syslog-ng] try tcp destination but fail quickly if unavailable

Hello, I have a tcp destination that, unfortunately, may occasionally become unavailable. When that happens, I believe that the system will try to retransmit the messages and/or re-establish the connection (time_reopen), but either way, messages will accumulate. Is there a way to tell syslog-ng "try this destination, but if it can't be delivered within <time>, drop the message / skip the destination" ? -Jan
