Ralph, thanks for your reply! In the source code for SocketNode, I see this
line where it sets the following property for the LoggingEvent object:
// store the known remote info in an event property
event.setProperty("log4j.remoteSourceInfo", remoteInfo);
and remote info is the remote client address. Is there any way I can
retrieve this in the config file supplied to the socket server?
