I'm actually using syslog-ng on GNU/Linux, and according to the documentation indeed there are two types of unix dockets: datagram and stream.

See http://www.cs.utah.edu/~clake/docs/syslog-ng-2.0/

It is also said that Linux comes with stream sockets. I haven't tried to activate datagram sockets, but I don't think it's worth the effort, in this case I'll stick to UDP transmissions.
