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).
Part of the reliability standard is TCP based. Hence, multicast is not
Supported. On the UDP side, it can be done.
