Utilities like analog have a similar problem - the logged data is
typically in numeric form and you want a domain name.  I run dnstran on
my system which runs through the log and does the dns translations and
caches the results for analog.  dnstran runs hourly (I think) and does a
nice job.  You might be able to use a similar approach for your log
file.  In fact, if you can get the RT314 output to a separate file,
tools like analog might be able to process it for you.
