[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng DNS Problem

[zarahel at iol.pt]

I figured out the problem.

It wasn´t a problem in syslog-ng, but in my dns server. For some  
reason I had to re-create my hosts in my foward lookup zone and then  
reload my dns server. After that, syslog-ng started resolving the  
names ok.
