<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Firstly the
"ip()" option of "tcp()" in a "source()" is not required, it is
optional. It specifies the IP address which syslog-ng will listen on.
If not provided, syslog-ng will listen on all interfaces.<br>
Seconly, you do not need a separate source for every client. You can
use filter rules to match on the client's hostname if you need to.<br>
<br>
You might want to go through the administrator's guide, it is an
extremely good documentation source with lots of examples.
