I have seen AIX syslog fail if you define a log destination in the AIX
syslog.conf file as just an IP address, as opposed to a hostname.  In other
words, the entry:

*.debug	@12.34.56.78
fails

*.debug	@loghost
works (provided that it can resolve loghost)

There's an IBM fix for this, but its part of a larger patch, IIRC.
