As far as I know, there is no way to prevent this using SocketAppender... <shamelessPlug> But my multiplex appender, which is part of Lilith, available at http://lilith.huxhorn.de , handles this and a lot more... If you download Lilith, you'll find setup instructions in the help. if you are using Maven, the setup will actually be quite easy </shamelessPlug> ;) Regards, Joern.

Hi all, I have a question about the SocketAppender. I understand that when the link to the server is down, clients trying write to it will be blocked. I was wondering if there's a way to prevent that. In other words, what would be the best way to prevent client from being block. Is there a way to "see" that the link to the server is down and if it is down lets direct messages to say, local drive. (instead of remote) Any suggestion? Ideas? Thanks a lot.
