Yes here is the portion of my syslog-ng.cong ##################################### options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (yes); use_dns (yes); use_fqdn (yes); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (no); }; source sys { unix-stream ("/dev/log"); internal(); }; source net { udp(ip(0.0.0.0 <http://0.0.0.0>) port(514) ); }; destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, datetime, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL', '$TAG', '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(net); destination(d_mysql); ############################################## But if you say that syslog-ng first queries DNS Server ... then why it is resolving names for all public Ips which i defined in /etc/hosts and those public Ips have no entries in my defined DNS Servers. i am quite confused how this thing is actually working??

Hi All!
I am using Syslog-ng with php-syslog-ng. to give names of my choices to different hosts IP what i did was to define hostnames against each IP of host in /etc/hosts file.
It was working fine with Public IP adresses.. But I have some hosts on local network too with 192.168 IPs . The pRoblem i am now facing is that its not storing logs with HOSTNAMES of private IPs. Where as its working fine and giving names of Public IPs.
For example In My /etc/hosts file i have these 2 entries
202.164.1.1 <http://202.164.1.1> <http://202.164.1.1> broadband-router 192.168.77.1 <http://192.168.77.1> <http://192.168.77.1> primary-router
For 1st entry Logs in database will come with name broadband-router, which is what i want For 2nd Entry Logs in database will come with name 192.168.77.1<http://192.168.77.1> <http://192.168.77.1>, which is what i Don't want
Any body has any idea?? any thing to do in configuration of syslog-ng??
