I thought it wasn't easy... But still, we need some sort of solution

Hi Iñaki,
in fact kamailio have already such a solution since 1.5.0:
- non-blocking logging
* support for non-blocking log writes to prevent blocking of the server in
certain error situations
* can be enabled by setting the SYSLOG_ASYNC define in the Makefile.defs,
the default is the old implementation
We implemented it sometimes in the past because of a somewhat similar issue.
There is maybe still one bug left (need to dig for the report..), but in
general it should work fine. I'm not sure if we ported this to sr, but should
be not that hard.
Cheers,
Henning
