If I send a UDP packet of 102 bytes, then stunnel needs to have some way to talk to stunnel on the other end and say "this is one 102 byte UDP packet". So you've got some "udp packet size" protocol to encode both Stunnel processes.
Good point. If I step outside the 'syslog event' mindset for a moment, and think of arbitrary (potentially binary) data where I don't have control the UDP packet size of the sender, this becomes more obvious.
Yes, it could be possible. But today it's not. If you wanted to write the code, by all means do so. ;-)
Fair enough. I'm going to have to write something anyway (even though my requirements are much smaller/simpler, there are a few shared bits).
If it's going to be quicker to wrestle something into stunnel than start from scratch, I'll zap a patch out.
Thanks Brian.
