Actually.... I didn't know you had to close the backticks after the 
message size either... My original reply was a typo, I thought it should 
have gone after the ".log"  Hmm??? If it works, it works I guess.

For your second question, it can be done, but not the way you have 
shown.  the client-local file won't work with multiple hostnames.  What 
id does work on, however, is a CLASS names which are defined in your 
hosts.cfg.

So in your hosts.cfg file:
1.2.3.1    server1  # CLASS:myclass
1.2.3.2    server2  # CLASS:myclass
1.2.3.3    server3  # CLASS:myclass

In your client-local.cfg
[myclass]
log:....
