syslogd always opens a UDP port, but it silently drops all traffic
unless you pass the -u option. Yes, this is a bit confusing.

It is NOT confusing.

It is fully documented.

Hi,

it's not possible but of course you can use pf rules to block access
to port 514 on certain interface.

Or maybe you can try syslog-ng from ports
(http://openports.se/sysutils/syslog-ng)

Best regards
