On the PortMaster the only change that requires a reboot is changing the
'set loghost' setting. This reboot can also be avoided by resetting the
network handle UDP/514 is using. Do a 'show netc' identify the network
handle number associated with UDP/514. Lets say it was 21. Then you use
the 'reset n21' command and the next time we try to send a syslog message a
new network handle is formed using the new IP Address.
