 Marc's question from 2003 made little sense -- the submitter's opinion on it 
 being desirable for libc to offer the functionality is not affected by 
 logger(1)'s cleanup, and I presumed the question to be rhetorical. Thus 
 "feedback timeout" resolution is incorrect, in my opinion.
 
 Yes, I do believe, libc should offer a function to send syslog datagram directly 
 to a different host. And -- 12 years ago -- I submitted a patch, that does this...
