can you post a sample of that? Which version do you use? May it be
outdated and the ChangeLog contains a correction for newer versions?

Dynamic IPs should not really matter, but they may cause confusion. I
don't see why they should cause garbage to occur. However, in rsyslog we
cache the IP address when the connection is setup. If with some magic
you manage to change the IP without establishing a new connection, the
old address will still be omitted. However, as far as my understanding
of TCP goes, this is not a valid scenario.
