Oups! Well, you could send them via printk to the internal printk buffer which then gets fetched by the local syslog and then you can decide what to do since those messages should never fill up the buffer as quickly as syslog will be able to get them. Actually then you should rate limit the printk messages and probably also increase the buffer size.
But to be honest, those are not the usual messages that fill up the buffer so fast that syslog is not able to read the message before the buffer gets overwritten again. Of course you will then have a logfile inconsistency and this could be accounted just as well as a loss of trace.
But generally I agree that you're standing there pants down. For example if you have a filter rule in the routing or whereever code that doesn't permit the packets to leave the machine and thus to be dropped. Ah well ... it was worth a try.
[Hmpf, my collegue is just testing this right now but I think I can then tell him to stop this because you're always biting your own tail with this approach, one way or another].
Thanks for the valuable input and best regards, Roberto Nibali, ratz -- echo '[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb3135071790101768542287578439snlbxq'|dc
