Just a paranoid drift, because I've been bitten by it a few times in the 
past - make certain that if you do go the rsyslog path, you ensure it is 
setup to never block the local logging client(s) no matter what happens 
with the remote logging destination.  Otherwise, when something goes 
awry with the remote logging destination the backpressure will affect 
the logging clients (eg dnsmasq in this case though the times I've been 
bitten were with other things).
