As far as I know, you do *not* lose the layout
feature with SocketAppender.
The idea is that the LogEvent is serialised over
the socket, and the receiving end (ie the
SocketServer) applies whatever layout the
*server* is configured with. This means that
the server can ensure consistent message layout
in its output file.
The SocketServer command-line params include
a way to specify the configuration file.
