logging as opposed to UDP logging - I find that with UDP logging with 
large numbers of servers I tend to see a lot of drop packets, which mean 
log lines going astray. This can mess up database consistency a little 
bit (for example, if it misses the "player has joined server" line and 
then all of a sudden that player has other records, such as he's 
killing/getting killed).

I appreciate that the resource requirements might be a bit higher to 
maintain the connection, but (for me at least) I'd probably prefer it.

Even better, an option for either would be awesome :)
