OK, it's clear now. The logs sent to IP address B will be catched by syslog-ng,
and if you're not binding it to IP addresses, then the logs arriving to IP address
C will be catched as well.

So if you're using a source like udp()/tcp() then it will work. When you're
using udp("IP_address_A") and udp("IP_address_B") then syslog-ng won't log
messages sent to IP address C, but it still will log messages sent to
IP address B, so clients using IP address B aren't affected.
