well, this depends the way syslog is implemented. And actually that's my 
main selling point for using syslog instead our own logging 
implementation: to push the efforts for someone that *knows* how to log.

For instance, rsyslog seem pretty up to date and being developed often. 
I bet it deals nicely with a bunch of app consumers, not blocking them.


Thanks!
