Description
I have configured a tinc VPN Interface and I have a Gateway on that connection. If the remote host goes down (meaning that it disconnects from tinc) I am seeing thousands of
dpinger MyGW x.x.x.x: sendto error: 64
entries in the log, which cause the important and useful entries to disappear. As there are 2 of these entries per second it doesn't make any sense to increase the log file size because even the biggest log file will start overwriting itself after a short time. dpinger should implement some kind of throttling of messages, like for example combining various messages into a "message repeated x time" or it should not show these messages at all.
