Thank you, this was exactly what I needed - I did not even know about
this option, as I was using syslog-ng from the FreeBSD ports collection,
who was still at 1.4.7, where it appears this option is not supported.
The FreeBSD port was updated to 1.6.0rc1 on friday, and after upgrading
syslog-ng and trying this, it is now working beautifully.
