I believe that all outputs are opened when the first message to that 
destination is sent.

the connection gets re-established if it times out, or if you send rsyslog a 
HUP, I would expect that it will resolve the address at that time with no 
internal caching.

The DNS caching that rsyslog does is intended to reduce the number of DNS 
lookups for inbound messages (especially important for UDP)
