Hello,

I have a question regarding to the $HOST macro in the syslog.conf.

Which value does the syslog-ng uses for the hostname?
It seems that there are circumstatnses that it converts the SOURCEIP using
the /etc/hosts and sometimes it gets the hostname somewhere else.

I would like to know how does the syslog-ng defines this value.
