Hi Kenneth, the first link does NOT describe a failover case. In the first link, data is queued while the syslogd is not available. A failover case (described in link two) is that if one syslogd goes down, data is sent to another. This is not done in case 1: there, messages are queued while the syslogd is down and sent to *the same syslogd* when it is up again. So no second syslogd involved in case 1, so this is no failover scenario.
