Hello,
In the machine that receives the syslogd messages, try specifiying
the message source:
+host # host is the name of the machine that sends messages
local0.* /some/file.log # the message type and log file
+* # resets the log source specification...
The manual page syslog.conf(5) specifies this issue.
