Hi Peter,
As you know we use the syslog to transmit the logs because it uses UDP. UDP does not provide acknowledgments (fast and consumes very little resource). Additionally, at the application layer, syslog servers do not send acknowledgments back to the sender for receipt of syslog messages.
it may be possible to modify the hostname, but it remains to be verified:

however, you may slow down the treatment. and since it's UDP, if some package is not processed for X reason, it will not be returned because of UDP and not TCP...
regards
