The setting for remote syslog server states "IP address of remote syslog
server." That and field does not have a light blue background ;-)
 
AFAIK, aliases work for FW rules, NAT and Traffic Shaper *only*.

Yes - I use the same alias in several different places and it works fine.
It must be just a simple oversight.

Don't think that will work - my cable ISP only allows one machine to connect
to the cablemodem.  There must be some way to identify the traffic from
within m0n0wall... (like netstat -a  on a linux box)  possibly using
exec.php

I have little BSD experience, that's my drawback.
