Has anyone (commercial or otherwise) addressed the issue of how to have a host log to a central logging server when the host in question can't always see the loghost? In particular, I'm thinking of laptop situations, although I can see other times when this would be an issue. Take, for example, an office with an internal RFC 1918-numbered network; employees who are in the office should have their laptops logging to the central server, but if they, say, take the laptop home, the laptop shouldn't attempt to log to that 10.x.x.x loghost across the internet if the employee dials in to their personal ISP, nor should it throw away log messages by attempting to log them across the network when the laptop isn't plugged in to any network at all. I can see a lot of ways to set things like this up, and was about to start hacking together a prototype in Perl, but I figured I ought to see if anyone else has started any work in this area before I go reinvent the wheel. -- Sweth. -- Sweth Chandramouli Idiopathic Systems Consulting svcat_private http://www.idiopathic.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: loganalysis-unsubscribeat_private For additional commands, e-mail: loganalysis-helpat_private
