Charles:
you're a legend! thanks for the tip... I've now added a pipe to
logresolve in the part of my web log analyser script that grabs the
day's log entries from the main log files for reporting, and I set
all web servers to not resolve hostnames any more...
logresolve slotted effortlessly and beautifully into the scripts as
you anticipated, the can of worms was left totally sealed... and...
well... thanks for that pointer... I'm a very happy camper now! :)
cheers, dan.
