Is it possible to forward syslogmessages without modifing the Host and the messages. I thought "keep_hostname(yes)" would solve the problem, but it didn't. Normaly i use version 1.5.15 shipped with debian, but I tryed 1.5.26 too. I don't konw if its important, but our syslogserver has a load of 100% the whole day (not from syslog-ng). I tryed the following config: options { use_fqdn(yes); sync(0); use_dns(yes); chain_hostnames(yes); keep_hostname(yes); }; source net { tcp(); udp();}; destination pc1 { udp(192.168.1.1);}; destination pc2 { udp(192.168.1.2);}; destination pc3 { udp(192.168.1.3);}; log { source(net); destination(pc1);}; log { source(net); destination(pc2);}; log { source(net); destination(pc3);}; bye Harrie
