Concerning your problem with seeing IPs
in the syslog, it sort of sounds like you may not have a reverse DNS
map. Many of the times I see people build the forward map, but forget
(or don't fully understand the need for) the reverse map. Can you
confirm that you have the reverse map? You can go to your OSX server
and execute 'dig -x IPADDR' to verify that the map is there and can
resolve back to a hostname. The only other option you have is to
maintain a copy of the hosts in the hosts file. That should also allow
syslog to resolve the hostnames correctly.
I'm 99% sure I had reverse lookups
functioning correctly at the time, but I'll have another look. I'm
pretty sure I tried the /etc/hosts trick too... :-\
More importantly make sure your OS X Servers have this properly
configured by using the following command:
# changeip
-checkhostname
Many, many ppl seem to "think" they have this
configured correctly and don't, ever w proper PTRs.
