That is called reverse dns lookup. And I think u cannot configure a
router (Cisco one) to do that!

Objet : Re: sending syslog using domain names

Group,

Does nobody read the question well or am I not putting the question is
right words.
Question is not about configuring basic logging or configuring name
servers. Assuming that they were already configured, the
question is that how to configure the router to send domain names
instead of IP address in the syslog messages like,
" neighbor loopack.1.cpe down" instead of " neighbor 1.1.1.1 down"

Is that clear ??
