[syslog-ng]Can I run multiple Syslog-ng instances on different ports?

[Aaron Jackson]

Seems a bit of a hack.  Why don't you file all log messages by hostname, 
and when you parse the messages with your scripts, associate the host 
name with an os?  A perl hash, to me, would seem to be a natural way to 
solve this...
