>Your concerns about packet flow and whether packets are being >dropped in transit or on the host OS can be answered with >SNMP monitoring Using SNMP to overcome problems with syslog is kind of like using bubonic plague to distract yourself from an irritating cold, isn't it? mjr. -------- There is a need to know if packets are not getting to the syslog host. This is a network management problem. A mid-sized shop such as the one the author mentioned should already have a management console (commercial or Open Source) and alerts working. That said, I hate it when I get bubonic plague. Ruins my whole day. jpb === Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
