<br>>those aliases all actually resolve to "server0".<br><br>>You can do this with /etc/hosts if your resolver will check /etc/hosts<br>>for reverse DNS (e.g. with a flag in /etc/resolv.conf, but the exact
<br>>mechanism is OS-dependent).<br><br>i will lost all the dynamic part with it but it's a solution.<br><br>>Sounds like it would be easier to hack the syslog-ng source code to<br>>find where it translates IP addresses to names, and just add code to
<br>>check if the last two characters are 'e' followed by a number, and if<br>>so, truncate.<br><br>i think it would be the best solution, i've really few knowledge in C but i'm going to try.</span></div>
