[syslog-ng] threading question

[jrhendri at roadrunner.com]

Thanks Baszi!

  Right now I have created separate-bu-identical redis destinations:

destination d_redis1 {stuff}
destination d_redis2 {exactly the same stuff}
...
destination d_redisN {still the same stuff}

so I can filter the sources and have different log statements send to each destination.

Is there a more compact way to do this?
(I'd love to have a single d_redis that creates several threads based on load so I could lose the filters and separate log statements)

Thoughts?

Jim
