[logback-user] Log context based log splitting in SocketServer

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello Rick,

Interesting request which I would like to develop further. Could you please 
enter a jira issue requesting this feature in logback-classic? Once that is 
done, I will be happy to continue this discussion within jira.

TIA,
