FreeBSD loghost 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 18 11:57:08 PDT 2001     murray@builder.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
I have a loghost that log syslog message from 2 servers.
After a while (from few minutes to several hours) the syslogd on my loghost stop logging messages.
tcpdump show that servers still send syslog info to the loghost:
11:27:19.111707 ide.syslog > loghost.syslog:  udp 102
but nothing arrive to 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   18357 Oct 31 10:42 any.log

I have a bad-quality hub to link these machines.

>How-To-Repeat:
on loghost (10.0.0.10):
in rc.conf:
syslogd_flags="-4 -n -a 10.0.0.2 -a 10.0.0.1"
in syslog.conf:

+10.0.0.1					
*.*;security.none		/space1/log/ide/any.log
security.*			/space1/log/ide/security.log

+10.0.0.2					
*.*;mail.none			/space1/log/mail/any.log
mail.*				/space1/log/mail/mail.log

on 10.0.0.1 syslog.conf:
*.*				@10.0.0.10
on 10.0.0.2 syslog.conf:
*.*				@10.0.0.10
