Can I get syslog to write the first "proxy" as FQDN just as the last string without changing the normal OS hostname (uname -n)? (I mean it's a *host*name, so use_fqdn(on) should add the domain name itself)
as long as you keep_hostname(yes), your hosts will have to specify the FQDN in the log message, which they'll do when hostname is set to FQDN. You can keep_hostname(no), but then their has to be some kind of mechanism to resolve the FQDN. DNS should work fine and do what you want if you turn off keep_hostname().
