[syslog-ng] Resolving host IPs on the central log server

[Steve Bernacki]

My setup is pretty simple:  I have a number of local syslog-ng 
"collectors" feeding into one central syslog-ng server.  All systems are 
running syslog-ng 2.0.7.   I'd like to optimize the collectors for speed 
and thus not attempt to resolve hostnames there, but rather pass the 
syslog message raw to the central log server who then performs the 
IP->DNS translation and writes the message to disk.  I've experimented 
with the various dns_* options to no avail, as it seems like syslog-ng 
wants to either resolve the hostname at the collector, or not at all. 
Am I missing something simple here, or is this not possible with 2.0.7?

Thanks for your help.
Steve
