[syslog-ng] keep-alive question

I'm having remote connections drop with 1.6. I have my hosts log to localhost 
stunnel to my server. The problem seems to be when hosts rotate and HUP their 
daemons, it breaks the stunnel connection. I believe my log server is working 
after putting keep-alive on it; when I reload it, I don't see messages 
indicating reconnects. It doesn't on the clients, though, it gave me a syntax 
error. It seems keep-alive only works in source sections but not in destination 
sections. Is this correct? The manual online seems to suggest it would work with 
any tcp stream... (the man page that came with my syslog-ng doesn't mention it 
at all). Is this different in 2.0?

Thanks,
J
