This produces 
	Mar  5 12:06:01 src@proxy/proxy.westend.com /USR/SBIN/CRO...
but the filename still is
	/var/log/remote/proxy.2002-03-05
other hosts, that are running no syslog-ng do have FDQN Hostnames in
their filename. 

ngrep sniff:
U 192.168.XXX.XXX:59513 -> 192.168.XXX.YYY:514
  <31>Mar  5 12:10:12 src@proxy/proxy.d.westend.com slapd[9011]: conn=10
  65 op=2376 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0.                            

Can I get syslog to write the first "proxy" as FQDN just as the last
string without changing the normal OS hostname (uname -n)? 
(I mean it's a *host*name, so use_fqdn(on) should add the domain name
itself)

thanks,
