Use DNS. There are nearly infinite of ways to programmatically replace FOO with BAR in a text file, but changing the file requires a HUP or restart for an already-running instance of rsyslog, which is inelegant. If you're trying to point to multiple hosts, either float a virtual IP among them or point at a DNS record you can move among hosts. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
