[syslog-ng]remote logging problem syslog-ng logging between routable public networks (?)

[Adam Tworkowski]

Hi,

I've searched high and low and I can't find the answer to the following 
scenario:

I would like to be able to use a remote logging host across the internet (I 
reckognize that security concerns of not using a VPN).  I *am* able to do 
syslog-ng to syslog-ng remote logging on the same network segment.  There is 
no issue here.   I cannot log across a LAN extension or across the internet 
at large.   I've tried UDP and TCP.  I've even successfully sniffed packets 
on the remote log server that were sent across the internet.   Is there an 
issue with bridges, routers or ARP and syslog-ng?  As far as I can tell, the 
only difference between the various hosts I am trying to log from is 
geographic location and network location.  Same OS. Same versions, same 
syslog-ng.conf.

I am using Debian 3.0 with  syslog-ng 1.5.18.

Thanks in advance.
