OK… I've only posted here a couple of times, but I've googled this list (for help) extensively in the past. Before I waste everyone's time, I just wanted to find out if I'm the only one who "didn't already know" that there's a nasty bug in libnet-1.1.2.1, such that anybody doing source-spoofed forwarding of UDP-based syslog packets will likely end up losing large volumes of packets in the process (in my case a 2/3 loss of packets).

Again… I thought that I had searched the mailing list archives properly, and that I didn't see a mention of this issue (as I've been fighting my way through figuring this out, over a multi-week period), BUT, as this would seem to impact a lot of syslog-ng users, I keep thinking that I've just missed something, and everyone else already knows about this. Before I waste time writing a detailed message on the topic, I figured that I'd ask first.

I would appreciate if you could write about this. I don't know about anything related. -- Bazsi
