[syslog-ng]TCP Connection Problem

[Mike Kelland]

This may be a similar situation to the one we ran into.  Syslog-ng allows 10
connections from a single source max (appears to be hardcoded into
afinet.c).  So you could be hitting this limit.  In order to fix it, we
started by making sure that each server returning syslog only made one
connection (some of ours were making 5) by editing the config files and now
we are testing a new compile where we have changed the max connections to
1000.  We've managed to make the 1000 connections with no ill effects but
have not yet stress tested it with these 1000 connections.  

Has anyone else run into a similar situation btw?  I'd be interested to find
out if there was a reason that the max connections was hardcoded to such a
low number. 

Thanks,
Mike
