I use the following technique to view logged messages from different
machines:
1. Configure the webapp's SocketAppender to send messages to
'localhost';
2. Start up Chainsaw on my machine;
3. Use ssh to redirect the 4445 port on the webapp's machine to
mine. This is done with the command:
ssh -R 4445:localhost:4445 -l <username> <servername>
4. Wait a little while until the SocketAppender attempts to reconnect
to port 4445, and then the messages will start being delivered.
The only downside to this approach is that you cannot connect multiple
Chainsaw clients at the same time.

Oliver
