Read the syslog.conf and syslogd man pages carefully, they contain all
the info you need.
You probably need to adjust the syslogd entry in /etc/rc.conf to
remove the -s option, and add -a RemoteIP.  Then stop and restart
syslogd before continuing your test.

You also likely need to clear the "program specification" in
syslog.conf by using:
!*
+sphere
*.*      /var/log/sphere/messages
