Can anyone give me some insight into this situation?

If machineA has the following syslog.conf file:

user.alert	/tmp/alert
user.info	/tmp/info
user.alert	@machineB
user.info	@machineB

and machineB has the following syslog.conf file:

user.info	/tmp/info
user.alert	/tmp/alert

Then when machineA does a syslog of an alert priority, 2 alert entries
are put in the /tmp/alert file of machineB.  Shouldn't there only be 1?
There is also 2 entries in the /tmp/info file of machineB, but this I 
can understand (one for the alert and one for the info).  When I comment 
out the .info entries from machineA's syslog.conf file, the problem goes 
away.

user.alert	/tmp/alert
#user.info	/tmp/info
user.alert	@machineB
#user.info	@machineB

The same thing occurs on every platform that I tried it on.

Thanks for any help..
