Rob, This looks great. A couple of things.
I would rather not have to include the BSD licence as it does complicate things. I will go back to the RFC (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3164.html) and rewrite those portions as necessary. Does the native mono appender do anything that the SyslogAppender (Udp based) cannot do? Reading through the man page it looks like it is following exactly the same protocol. Are there times when a call to syslog(3) will work but there isn't a syslog deamon listening? Looking at the syslog protocol it looks as though we should be including the date, hostname and a tag in the content of the message. I know that we can specify this in the layout, but it might be better to do it in code because it has a fixed format.
