Hello I run snort on two separated networks linked over VPN. Snort logging to both sql servers taken separately work fine, so does the VPN. For security reasons, I would like to mirror the logging of one snort sensor to both sql servers..

Before I run in big headaches, I would like to ask this list first if such a dual logging is possible ??
Yes, it is.
Then, if this is possible (which I hope), could you enlighten me how should I fiddle with snort's config file: Should I add a second snort-database logging config line such as follows: output database: log, mysql, user=XXXXX password=YYYYY dbname=snort host=MACHINE-B encoding=hex detail=full
This is the right configuration. But note: Each output plugin has to be finished before snort can start to analyze the next network packet. Especially inserting data in a remote database is a time consuming procedure. This one of the many reasons I started to code FLoP: http://www.geschke-online.de/FLoP/ ;-) (Sorry, but a little bit advertising should not matter...)
