In the light of a complete lack of response and comment, I just went forward to push the particular change set for which I finally found good arguments. The resulting SYSLOG server has been tested on OpenBSD for a couple of days, to ensure expected functionality as loghost and as forwarder, using static listener, and using dynamic forwarding sockets. The system accepted messages via IPv6 from GNU/Linux and forwarded via IPv6 to OpenSolaris! Extended testing under load would be welcome, but is nothing I am in a position to arrange. The new binding option has been wanted in Debian's bug tracking system for years, so that should be welcome by some users. Best regards, Mats
