[syslog-ng]syslog-ng and DNS

[Jerome Peducasse]

Yes, of course but I like none of these propositions.
I would like loghost stays independent of network updates (update of IP, subnet...). 

Is it not possible when a destination is unreachable (or unreadable, or ...) that syslog-ng logs an error in syslog.crit (if possible ;-)), continues its job and retries to open failed destination at next message. 

Thanks for your help and your indulgence.
