It had entirely nothing to do with syslog-ng.  I was interpreting the
netstat output as indicating messages were coming from that host, which
wasn't the case at all after doing:
#tcpdump port 514

all of the messages were coming in from the routers and none from that
host.

The fault lay with the syslog.conf for solaris. Why I don't know, but I've
magically fixed what the man page stated should have worked by working my
mojo.  If your unfamiliar with the term mojo, let me just say I have no
idea why it didn't work before.

Thanks.
