Log4j.properties questions with ConversionPattern and Appender

Below is my log4j.properties file

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, dest1
log4j.appender.dest1=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.dest1.RemoteHost=logsrv02
log4j.appender.dest1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.dest1.layout.ConversionPattern=[Joels project] - %-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

First of all it seems as if I can't get the socket appender to actually connect. I do use a fqdn but I have removed it from this paste. 

My second issue is regarding my conversion pattern or perhaps a better way to do what I am trying for. I am looking for an easy way to handle logging from multiple applications all sending data back to a server socket. I am looking for an easy way for people to send their project name so the file can quickly be split up into appropriate log files for each project.

thanks
