Traditionally our developers have pretty much just dumped log files where ever which of course is unmanagable after a  while.   We are currently using NG with Apache and are comfortable with the idea of loosing a log every now and then.  What we cannot do is loose logs that our developer's applications are sending to the server.  It appeared that a good way to accomplish this would be to use the TCP functionality built into NG.  I have had some difficulty getting NG to accept the parameters listed on the docs page for the TCP connection.  I even copied them verbatim at one point and still receive a parse error on the destination line in question.

destination d_joust { tcp("192.168.30.225" port(1999) localport(999)); };

the ';' after port() is not needed.
