Obviously, make sure the syslog server gets the domain name you are looking for when you do a reverse-lookup on the client's address. If you temporarily let any host log, do you see the log entries from the clients? Finally, if you are still stumped, run syslogd(8) in debug mode, -d, to see what is going on. -- Crist J.
