Using one Rsyslog instance for multiple ports

Ever cared to or needed to have one Rsyslog v5 instance listening on multiple ports while either re-directing or something else with those feeds? Rsyslog documentation allows for this with RuleSets.  If you have Rsyslog v7.6 or newer there is a cool config builder which can help but for those who don't roll your own rpms you can visit the link below.

I was able to use this to keep the number of rsyslog instances to a minimum while providing multiple data source routings.  Cheers!
