     *
     *   <li>Remote logging is non-intrusive as far as the log event
     *   is concerned. In other words, the event will be logged with
     *   the same time stamp, NDC, location info as if it were logged
     *   locally by the client.</li>
     *
     *   <li>Log4jUdpAppender do not use a layout.</li>
     *
     *   <li>Remote logging uses the UDP protocol.</li>
