[c-nsp] syslog using hostname - IOS

[Aaron]

Does this defeat the purpose of dns ?  I mean if I want to use a hostname
for my syslog so that If I ever want to change the ip address of my syslog
server, it seems that this would break since IOS is apparently resolving the
name to a number and then putting the number in the config

 

Is there a way to stop IOS from changing the name to a number and leave the
name in the config ?
