[syslog-ng] stunnel through elb.. need packets sent semi-frequently

[Matt Wise]

er.... this was the message being sent to the stunnel list. doh! 

rephrased for this mailing list ... 

I'm passing syslog-ng data through an stunnel, through an amazon ELB. It works fine, but the connections die every 60 seconds if no traffic is passed due to a limitation in the Amazon ELB. Is there a way to make syslog-ng send some data every 30-40 seconds to keep the tunnel open?

I'm wondering whether theres some way I can configure stunnel itself to pass some whitespaces or something back and forth every few seconds to make sure the session stays open and live?
