Today I had an issue where the pfsense firewall (1.2.3RC3) could not access the remote syslog on another server because of a network fault (dead switch).

The end result of this was the firewall stopped responding after behaving intermittently. I imagine the firewall buffered the messages until the memory was full.

If there an automated way of telling the firewall to not use remote syslog if it is not available? I would prefer to lose the logs rather than have an unstable firewall.

Regards,

Duncan
