I have also tried to give an ip instead of localhost. What I observed is.
any IP configured on the machine doesn't work.
If I give IP which does not exist at all and after bringing up syslogd I create alias of any interface with the IP given will work.

Just a very quick suggestion, did you try:-
*.* @127.0.0.1
Or try :-
*.* @<IP ADDRESS OF THE MACHINE>
I'm not saying it *will* work, but just a very quick suggestion that may
be worth trying...
You may also need to add the "-r" option to syslogd's service config file...
Again, just a thought....
