no idea how to debug a problem with syslogd. please help

i use syslogd to log messages from multiple other unix machines, now i 
wanted to add logging from windows server (with evtsys program).

if i run syslogd with

syslogd_enable="YES"            # Run syslog daemon (or NO).
syslogd_flags="-v -4 -8 -b 10.100.100.1"


it logs messages fine from windows server as well as others.


if i run it as

syslogd_flags="-v -4 -8 -b 10.100.100.1 -a 10.100.0.0/16"

it logs messages fine from everything except windows servers, WHICH ARE IN 10.100.0.0/16 network.

Now i just use firewall rules to block logging from unwanted places, but 
no idea why just using -a blocks logs from windows/evtsys

any idea?
