In theory there's no reason multicast SYSLOG shouldn't work. The packet
format doesn't need to change and you just need to bind to a multicast
socket. I haven't any idea how implementations will currently behave.
But you're addressing two separate problems- distribution and
reliability. Reliability is addressed with SYSLOG/BEEP, which I believe
is a Proposed Standard (RFC 3195).
