It seems unlikely that this is a syslog-ng problem. People aren't
responding because it's not clear that you eliminated other factors. You
need to test if TCP traffic can really make it between the ports and
hosts involved. Eliminate the lower levels of the TCP/IP stack before
working on the app layer.

HINT: telnet from the solaris client to the listening syslog-ng port on
the linux host. You might not be able to connect at all. Try UDP too,
test sending UDP traffic with netcat. Try UDP too, test sending UDP
traffic with netcat, once you set up a udp listener on the loghost.
