[syslog-ng] One destination, multiple TCP connections?

[Steve Bernacki]

Hello,

We have a syslog TCP destination that receives logs from many different 
destinations. During peak log volume times, this destination begins to 
back up and queue. We've found that if we define multiple destinations 
for the same IP/port and route logs through these multiple destinations, 
the destination is able to handle these peak log volume times much better.

Our current solution of having a destination for each source is pretty 
kludgy. Is there a way to define a TCP destination and specify to open, 
say, 10 connections to the destination and load balance the traffic over 
those 10 connections?

Thanks.
Steve
