[syslog-ng] Alternate logging destination

[Szeti, Balazs]

Hello!

Do you mean having more central servers?
I'm rather affraid of loosing the network connection between the center
and the edge node (dedicated private network).
So I'd like to have the logs stored locally while the connection is not
established.

you could always do a HA cluster.
