The matching is done on the hostname, exactly as it shows up in
the log messages produced by syslogd. Maybe "hostname tag" would
be a better desctiption. When generating the hostname tag it uses
the FQND if the domain's don't match or the short name if the
domains match. If you turn off resolving with the "-n" option
you can use IP addresses.
