syslogd question

Greetings all. I have a small head-scratcher (for me anyway)...

I have set up entries in the syslog.conf files on our servers so that I get
important system information for all our servers at my workstation:

daemon.debug _at_myworkstation.rfets.gov
etc...

For most of my servers, this gets me an entry similar to the following:

Jun 19 14:18:55 servername.rfets.gov syslogd: restart

Except for one server, which gives me the IP address:

Jun 19 12:28:25 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.2.2] syslogd: restart

The system in question is a Tru64 5.1 box, and name resolution appears to
work in all directions - my workstation knows that system by name, that
system knows my workstation by name, etc etc. What am I missing to have the
entry at my workstation (Solaris 2.6, btw) be by name instead of IP?


Thanks
