class=226011911-04062008>Hi,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008> I
have a <STRONG>sender application</STRONG>(similar to cronolog) which sends the
log messages from<STRONG> Apache to Spread daemon</STRONG>.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>I have a
<STRONG>receiver application</STRONG> which receives messages from the spread
daemon (Both communicate using a common group).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=226011911-04062008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>I have few question
regarding this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=226011911-04062008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>1) Can you suggest a
better application which can recieve log messages from multiple Apache servers
and log them into a central repository.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
It has to be reliable and fault tolerant like spread.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=226011911-04062008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>2) I connect to
a spread daemon running on a partcular system. I would like to know, what
happens when the <STRONG>spread daemon itself dies</STRONG>.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
Is there a way the communication still happen between the sender and receiver
through a different daemon automatically. If it can, can you suggest
how?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>3) In a
spread_segment of the configuration we have multiple IP addresses of different
daemons.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
ex:- spread_segment 10.1.1.255:3333 {</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

machineA 10.1.1.10</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=226011911-04062008>
machineB 10.1.1.11</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

machineC 10.1.1.12</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=226011911-04062008>
}</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=226011911-04062008>
However, A sender through the API's has to explicitly connect to a single daemon
on a system. I am curious as to why we have multiple systems in a spread
segment. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
