Re: spreadlogd with dns lookup and log rotation

Yes,it handles pipe transport.  Regarding log rotation, if you mv the 
log and hup spreadlogd, it will repone all the files.  That is how I 
usually handle log rotation.  For DNS lookups, there has been a 
long-unfulfilled goal of linking against libares and doing asynchronous 
lookups and writes....  Liek I said, 'long unfulfilled'.
