When you were giving syslogd the HUP signal, all it did was tell the
currently running syslogd to re-read its configuration file
(/etc/syslogd.conf), no flag changes were made to the running syslogd. And
if you try to start a second syslogd daemon you should have gotten an error:
# /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -a westbend.net
syslogd: child pid 4423 exited with return code 1
You should have given syslogd the TERM signal, and then started syslogd with
the correct flags.

You should be using /etc/rc.d/syslogd to stop/start syslogd when changing
the flags for syslogd. You should be adding your changes to /etc/rc.conf,
specifically add the following to rc.conf:
syslogd_flags="-a *.isot.com"
NOTE: you may of may not
Then stop and start syslogd with:
/etc/rc.d/syslogd stop
/etc/rc.d/syslogd start
