Q: 

Logging to multiple syslog servers - log4j

Can I send logging information to multiple syslog servers? Our IT department has 2 syslog servers (for redundancy) and wants the application to log to both of them. Is adding 2 lines for syslog host going to work?

I guess creating 2 separate syslog appenders (SYSLOG1, SYSLOG2) will work, but wanted to explore this path first.

A: 

No, because each SyslogAppender can only have one host, not multiple hosts. You'll need to create two appenders.
