Java Syslog logging to local machine only with logback
===

I need to log events to the `syslog` on the localhost <b>only</b>. My first trial was with the `logback` `SyslogAppender`, but it looks like it writes the logs through UDP. The problem is that the `syslog` daemon needs to be configured to access remote logging, which i can't guarantee on all deployment targets. Is there any way to log to `syslog` "directly" ( the way `/bin/logger` would do it) from JAVA? ( i mean, without needing to go through UDP or TCP)
