`fluentd-address` option to connect to a different address. `tcp`(default) and `unix` sockets are supported.

docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=fluentdhost:24224
docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=tcp://fluentdhost:24224
docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=unix:///path/to/fluentd.sock

docker run --log-driver=fluentd --log-opt fluentd-address=myhost.local:24224
