[syslog-ng] forwarding to server

[Chris Harner]

Well that makes sense!  Well, I added your code onto the bottom of
syslog-ng.conf.in since I couldn't find a commented out line already in the
config.  Are there docs on referring statements to log statements like the
one you gave me?  I'm not exactly sure how to go about that.  Thanks Sandor.
