Getting PFSENSE to auto-retry SYSLOG connection

Hi all.

Currently running pfsense ce and have noted that if i have to reboot my syslog server, pfsense stops sending data to it until i go back into syslog settings and disable/re-enable the "send to syslog" setting and hit "apply".,

In the system logs, i can see a "udp send rejected" message when the syslog server gets shut down.

What i want to do is get pfsense to retry every 30 seconds to see if the server is still down, which feels a "sensible" way to do this.

I can't find anywhere to set this behaviour though - any ideas/pointers would be most appreciated!
