<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","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. <a
