Hey thom, just found this: http://code.google.com/p/xebia-france/wiki/LogWithFlumeSyslog they mention that you could do this with a Logback Syslog appender... maybe this is a solution for you?

I haven't been able to find any recent comments about a logback appender for Apache Flume. There is a log4j appender, but I am already using logback and don't really want to change that. Has there been any development of an appender for flume? -- Thom DeCarlo
