Hi Reiner,

This is really the killer feature I have been waiting for Rainer, thanks for
adding it. I will now look at testing this version and installing it into
production shortly after.

You may like to update your paper "On Reliability" here:

as that section will not hold true now.

Thanks again.

Michael.

>  rsyslog can be instructed to forward messages to a set of secondary 
> log hosts or database servers if the primary one fails. When the 
> primary is back online, messages are automatically been sent to it

> primary one. So one could also configure forwarding messages and 
> writing them to a log file if the receiver cannot be reached. Other 
> than that, there were a number of bug fixes and some code cleanup. 
> Version 1.18.0 is a recommended update for all users.
