Description
Add the ability to send statsd on to another address, essentially acting as a proxy that provides visibility of what's going through it.
Considerations
This feature could lead to a lack of awareness of statsdebug since it would be passively collecting metric metrics. Since data is stored in memory, resource usage could become an issue for a long-running statsdebug instance that receives a lot of traffic. Potential workarounds include automatic aging out of data, on-demand enabling of data gathering, or maybe just communicating that users should be mindful of memory usage (I like this one).
