As you know rsyslog works over udp and telnet is a tcp protocol so I 
enabled tcp on port 514 within rsyslog and telnet'ed from my router to 
the syslog server.

No problems!!! It works.

Also netstat -anp tcp/udp | grep 514 shows the server listening on the 
em0 interface with correct IP which isn't a problem additionally.
