I want to start syslog-ng before the network is running but my configuration script contains (among other destinations) a network reference. Hence syslog-ng is exiting due to an error in the initialisation. Is there a way to deal with this, so syslog-ng is starting and resolve the connection at the time the network starts up.

By "network reference" do you mean a reference to a hostname that requires you host to query the DNS? If so put that hostname in /etc/hosts and make sure your resolver libraries use files before DNS (usually in /etc/resolv.conf). -- "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
