Use iRule to log to StatsD?

Here's the problem: I have a portion of a web application which, when it fails, returns a TCP reset and doesn't enter anything in the access log. It is likely crashing the worker thread / process as it also doesn't write out to the server-local error log.

To establish when this is happening, and how frequently, in logging that I have access to outside of the F5 (and which, unlike the F5 LTM syslog, has a usable signal to noise ratio) I was hoping that I could set up logging to an instance of StatsD that I'm using for debugging said application. (Note: I'm talking about the one that Esty wrote using Node.js, not the F5 native "statsd" daemon.)

Is this possible, and if so, what is the suggested way to go about it?
