Unfortunately that wont work. I won't know until deployment if I need to
log to logger.example.com, logger.foo.org, logger.x.y, etc. And from the
container I am pretty sure I do not have access to overwrite /etc/hosts
(and I have a feeling /etc/hosts in the container won't do anything).
It sounds like the only thing I can do is $Include the local config file
and within that file define the WHOLE action.
Definitely not ideal.
Ah well.
