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

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi,

You can define multiple destinations and route traffic based on $MSEC or
$RCPTID thereby load balancing traffic.

The destination IP/port can be the same for all of these destinations, as
long as you use the persist-name() option (which defaults to a name that
contains IP/port, and cannot collide).

We even had an SCL macro somewhere to wrap this nicely into a simple
destination driver. load-balancer() or something.

The point is that we can easily create something that looks like a
destination driver and wraps this routing complexity away.
