It was thus said that the Great Robert Jennings once stated: > With TCP it appears the clients remote logging stops indefinitely, in > fact even when a failback occurs it still isnt logging messages to the > primary server until I restart the client rsyslog process. > > With UDP behaviour is as expected, with a ~20-30 second failover period > where messages are lost (settings not tweaked in anyway)
Does the virtual IP address have its own MAC address? It could be an ARP issue. Also, if you are using UDP, have you thought maybe of setting the rsyslogd on each box to listen to a multicast address and send the traffic out to said multicast address? That way, both machines will get the traffic. This will only work if all the systems are on the same network segment though (I'm doing this on my home network with a syslog daemon specifically programmed to accept multicast addresses). -spc (Just a thought ... ) _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
