Hello,
Is it possible to use multiple FQDN's as part of output to **logstash** via beats?
My usecase:
1. I want to send a publically routable logging destination - [logging.maniarfamily.com](http://logging.maniarfamily.com) which will resolve to a **public IP address.**
2. I want devices to directly send data to logstash node when on the local network. Hence I have two options. I can have another **local only DNS entry** - [internal.logging.maniarfamily.com](http://internal.logging.maniarfamily.com) that will resolve only when the hosts are on local network pointing to the internal logstash IP address (10.x.x.x) as opposed to the public IP address.
**Will logstash automatically attempt to resolve the second host if the first one fails?**
