Using Socketappender vs SMB share

[Randy Xu]

I'm going to catch all ERROR level statements to a central server.  I'm 
currently deciding between using a SocketAppender vs directing a standard file 
appender to a Windows network share.  We don't forsee a need for 1) 
platform-independence or 2) the ability to customize and extend SocketServer.  
Are there other reasons a SocketAppender/SocketServer is preferred over the SMB 
option? Thanks.
