Instead of using *.isot.com, try just specifing the dns name of one of your
routers that you would like to log.

syslogd_flags="-a rtr1.isot.com"

If you get syslog messages with this, then try adding additional -a flags
for each of your routers.

syslogd_flags="-a rtr1.isot.com -a rtr2.isot.com ... rtrN.isot.com"

You may want to send a message to FreeBSD-Current at freebsd.org informing them
that remote logging isn't working for you.
