For 2 major reasons :
- that would mean changing the log4j configuration file on each client (50+)
each time we would need to change the monitoring preferences !
- clients would have to call the JDBCAppender, SMTPAppender ..
!! performance, traffic, rights (access to the log DB), ..
The log server - the smart socket listener - is definitively the one that has to know
what to do.

Well, chainsaw already acts as a prety good socket listener. But if I
understand you correctly, you want the socket listener itself to then re-log
messages to various sources? Why not just have this done in the first place,
rather than going thorugh the overhead of relogging the same messages?
