I was wondering if someone knows if the Syslog-ng issue with reading
remote host hostname/IP addresses on SPARC64 has been resolved? 

https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2004-July/006320.html
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2004-August/006395.html

Or Am I missing something in my config? - I tried every option with the hostname
as suggested in http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html#hostname


Config is simple until I figure out this remote hostname/IP issue. 
- Please check comments in config.. And the Sample log file below...

Any help would be great appricated. 
Thanks,

Eric
