Cannot send syslog event from AIX 6.1 to RHEL Syslog server

Hi Robin,
Thank you very much for your response.
I have tried to configure remote logging, local logging. Local logging success but remote failed.
Yes, the logger server is listening on port 514 as default. and we are receiving data from other UNIX Server but only AIX is having issue.
I do not see any error while starting syslog file. Furthermore, creating local syslog file is success.
For the firewall, I am confirming with the firewall team but they say that it has been opened for port 514 to go through. I need to double check again but it seems firewall team is doing good job and the port should be opened as they said.
And for /etc/syslog.conf content, it is very simple as below:
local0.debug @<Syslog server>
--> This one failed.
I have test with local logger as below content:
local0.debug /tmp/syslog.log
--> It works.
Just one question: I could not find the syslog daemon log file on AIX server. What is the default location of this log file? Is it /var/log/messages? I think if AIX does not send the syslog event then it should be syslogd issue but could not locate the log files to troubleshoot it.
Feel free to let me know any suggestion if you have
I really appreciate it.
Regards,
Michael.
