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. David.
