Hi, Sorry for the delayed response. For some reason my new spam filters sent
everything from NOLUG to the bit-bucket.
Anyway, I will try the suggestions on BSD and see if that will work. Either way
it looks like if I continue to use a readily available solution or one built-in
it will take some tweaking.
Again, a big thanks to all who responded for sharing your knowledge and
experiences.
Cheers,
Charles

Cool! You should be able to do as I am doing then.

I don't know. I guess that the protocol only has a 3 bit field for that. I'm
only using local1 and local2, I believe. Do you need 9 local devices? If so,
perhaps you could run a second SysLog using another port number.

Yes.

Ah so! I don't think that would be easy to do in general, but remember that
you do have multiple levels (emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info
and debug). This gives you 8 "levels" you could map the remote facilities to.
Regards,
John
