[syslog-ng] Multiple criteria per filter and hostnames?

I have been testing both nsyslog and syslog-ng recently (after discovering
syslog-ng is based on nsyslog). One thing I have noticed while testing
syslog-ng 1.4.4, is that it doesn't appear to allow filters such as:
filter myfilter { facility(auth); host(system); };
which were valid in nsyslog. In addition, nsyslog appeared to support reverse
lookups of the source ip, to resolve into fqdn.
So a message received by nsyslog from host "blah1" would appear in logs as
"blah1.mydomain.com". Whereas in syslog-ng it would appear as "blah1" OR with
the long_hostnames(yes) option, would log the hostname as "blah1/blah1".
Questions:
1. Is it possible to specify multiple criteria per filter?
2. Is it possible to enable reverse lookups and log hostname in fqdn?
Cheers,
Nick
