Easy way to use TCP instead of UDP in SyslogAppender in log4j 1.2.17

To my understanding log4j 1.2.17 supports only UDP connections for its
SyslogAppender. The API does not provide a way to configure the
SyslogAppender to use TCP instead. Log4j 2 API provides such configuration.

Is there an easy way that I could modify the log4j 1.2.17 SyslogAppender to
use TCP instead of UDP or is my only option to upgrade to log4j 2?

Thank you,
Apostolis Giannakidis

"It's just a small matter of programming" a friend of mine used to say.
Joking aside, I would do all I can to move to Log4j 2 as version 1 is EOL.
I personally do not have the time to help on version 1 and 2, so I focus on
2.
