Question about file ownership on destination

Hello
Regarding ownership on the destination:
rsync's man page indicates that when synchronizing files to a remote host,
-o implies the --numeric-ids option, which makes perfect sense aince the
named users/groups may not exist on the destination host. The problem I
have is that the files created on the destination still appear to be owned
by the local user (server1) on the rsync server. I do want to preserve the
actual ownership. How can I ensure this is done?
Here's an example of my configuration:
rsyncd.conf on 192.168.1.1:
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
max connections = 4
#redundant chroot since this is the default, but just to be sure...
use chroot = yes
[server1]
path = /netdisk/server1/mirror
comment = server1 Server Root
list = no
read only = no
auth users = server1server
secrets file = /root/rsync-passwd
hosts allow = 192.168.100.1
#note that the uid and gid belong to a non-privileged linux user "server1"
on this host
uid = server1
gid = server1
##################################
I run this from Server1:
rsync -av --delete --sparse --exclude="rsync-mirror.sh" --exclude="/proc/"
--exclude="/tmp/" --exclude="/mnt/" --exclude="/dev/" --exclude="/backup/"
--exclude="/backup2/" / server1server at 192.168.1.1::server1/
I'm using rsync 2.5.7 protocol version 2.6
TIA
Joe
