First, welcome to the syslog-ng mailing list!

Could you tell about your issue, how is it related to syslog-ng?

If you're trying to forward syslogd messages to remote hosts
then use @remotehost in syslogd.conf. If you want to forward
messages using syslog-ng then use either the tcp() or the udp()
destination drivers in syslog-ng.conf.
