Hi all,

i found that i had a extreme high amount of local reverse dns queries
for the same remote logging host (firewall logging)

Then i found this parameter for syslogd:

*-n*	     Disable dns query for every request.

The only problem is, that -n seems to disable the whole remote logging.
Does somebody know this behavior?


/etc/rc.conf:

syslogd_flags="-c -c -a 123.32.82.0/24:* -a 124.68.97.1/26:* "

is working


syslogd_flags="-c -c -a 123.32.82.0/24:* -a 124.68.97.1/26:* -n"
or
syslogd_flags="-n -c -c -a 123.32.82.0/24:* -a 124.68.97.1/26:*"

is not working (no remote log)
