Hi.

I think I noticed what seems to me undesirable (and undocumented?)
behavior in syslogd. When a remote logging host (@host) is unreachable:

syslogd: sendto: Host is down

syslogd *never* tries to reach it again, unless it receives a HUP.
Shouldn't it try to reach it again, from time to time?

The @host was indeed down, but when it was brought back up, remote
logging wasn't resumed.

thx

A.
