In Juniper,

is there a way to change the source ip of the syslog messages? instead of
the outgoing interface, i would like to set it to the loopback

thanks

set system syslog source-address lo0

Available since JunOS 6.1. If you can't upgrade, your only chance
is set system default-address-selection, with all side effects.

Right, but it wants an address, not an interface name.

Sigh, so "source-address" is different depending on context.
Elsewhere, it is said to accept interface names like lo0.

Would have been to easy, eh? :-/
