  I see what you mean, but that involves writing a module which opens a
UDP socket to a remote syslog server, and then creates syslog-formatted
messages.  That's probably not hard (~500 lines?), but not a priority
right now.

  RFC 5424 also says that TCP/TLS should be preferred to UDP for sending
to remote machines.

  So sure.. send a patch. :)
