This might be a good use of exported resources (though I'm not sure if
we have storeconfigs enabled in our puppet config).  If we do, we
could have each node export a file resource to create the proper
symlink.  From memory, it'd be something like this:

    # Somewhere in a class included on each node, export
    @@file { "/var/log/hosts/$ipaddress":
        ensure => "/var/log/hosts/$hostname",
        tag    => 'syslog',
    }

    # Then in the [r]syslog class on log1, collect
    File <<| tag == 'syslog' |>>

The export/collect mechanism can be pretty handy.  With 0.25, you can
use "thin" storeconfigs, which only stores facts and exported
resources.
