Hello,
I am sure this topic has been beaten to death, but I cannot find answers anywhere. Apologies if I have missed something - here we go:
I run syslog-ng 1.6.4 on Sol 9 Sparc (sunfreeware distribution). It works fine, except I want syslog-ng to resolve IP's to hostnames, and create directories using the resolved name rather than IP (long term, I will look at MySQL, but I would still have to get either DNS or keep_hostname to work). I installed bind 9.2.3 on the log server and setup a reverse zone authoritative for in-addr.arpa., but it still doesn't work. At this time, I prefer to use reverse DNS rather than hostname. I was not able to create_dirs based on keep_hostname(yes) either.
You have probably run into this: * Fixed a 64 bit compatibility issue when resolving hostnames. Which was fixed in 1.6.8 -- Bazsi
