+When sending UDP messages, there are potentially multiple pathes to
+the target destination. By default,
+.B rsyslogd
+only sends to the first target it can successfully send to. If -A
+is given, messages are sent to all targets. This may improve
+reliability, but may also cause message duplicaton. This option
+should enabled only if it is fully understood.
+.TP
+.BI "\-4"
+Causes

+.B rsyslogd
+listens to all configured addresses of the system.
