are you using '-j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable'

or just the default '-j DROP'?


DROP tells iptables to drop the packet on the floor like it never existed,
giving the sending host no indication as to what happened.  REJECT will
respond with something and you can specify what that something is.

Hi,
I am trying to get reliable failover logging to 2 remote hosts using this 
config:

*.* @@<remote1>:514
$ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended on
& @@<remote2>:514
$ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended off

This works fine if I stop syslog on the remote1 host, the rsyslog client host fails 
over and fails back with no problems. But if I use iptables to drop TCP/514 on 
remote1 server then on the client host the TCP connection goes to CLOSE_WAIT and 
then to LAST_ACK & SYN_SENT and finally to just SYN_SENT. It then just stays as 
SYN_SENT indefinitely and rsyslog does not failover to the second destination:
tcp        0      1 <client host>:40416          <remote1>:514            
SYN_SENT    3393/rsyslogd

I've read Rainer's blog 
post<http://blog.gerhards.net/2011/03/using-failover-and-asynchornous-actions.html> and I 
do not have "$ActionQueueType LinkedList" set.

Is there some configuration I am missing? I'm using version 5.8.10, I know it's 
old.

Thanks,
Max
