Hi !

I have a question about the use of udp, unix-stream or pipe. I would like to forward a syslog message to the same syslog server like this :

| log {
|    source (s_r_udp);    (<-- listen on UDP/514)
|
|    filter (....);
|    filter (....);
| parser (...);
|
|    destination (d_local_syslog); (<-- send the message to a local syslog by using unix-stream, udp or pipe mecanism)
| };

(...)

| log {
|    source (s_local_syslog);    (<--- here I receive the messages sent by the "d_syslog_loop")
|
|    filter (...);
|    filter (...);
|    parser (...);
|
|     destination (d_remote_syslog);

I'm looking for the better way to send syslog message to the same syslog server : which mecanism provides the better performances : pipe, udp (by using network) or unix-stream ?
Maybe the "pipe" is the better solution ?...

I'm using the syslog-ng OSE 3.1.2 on CentOS.
