Re: New Version: draft-ietf-syslog-dtls-02

Hi Rich,

Yeah; we got a little overzealous on that.  Let's try this:

    Transmission of syslog Messages over UDP [RFC5426] defines how to
    provide unreliable, non-secure datagram transport for syslog.  This
    transport should only be used as described in Section 4.3 of [RFC5426].

Thanks,
Chris
