[syslog-ng] use_fqdn()

Quick question:

    How does use_fqdn() interact with the various HOST, 
    HOST_FROM, FULLHOST, FULLHOST_FROM?

My understanding is that $FULLHOST and $FULLHOST_FROM are the only ones
that will include the FQDN.

Does use_fqdn() override that?

Is the ideal config to have use_fqdn(yes) + use_dns(yes) +
keep_hostname(no) and set $FULLHOST_FROM or $FULLHOST everywhere you
want a FQDN so long as DNS is there?

That doesnt seem to be working for me, use_fqdn(no) just kills all FQDNs everywhere regardless of $HOST* variable.

I'm running the latest 2.x because I suck so much; maybe this is fixed in 3.x

Thanks,
