No, you don't want Analog to "look them up", you want Analog to read them out of the cache file. > I am testing with about 700kB log from my server and it takes several > minutes before Analog releases for me to use Report-Magic ..IF I use > DNS Write in the config file. The DNS cache file is list of DNS addresses that have been looked up before. It doesn't matter how you create them - have Analog do it, use one of the helper apps like QDNS, or even create it by hand. Once it has been created, Analog can read the cache file, with DNS READ, and it will run about as fast as it would with DNS turned off. To create the DNS cache file with QDNS, just run QDNS /L <logfile.log> /D DNS.DNS (Some people find that the have to manually specify /Y <DNS Server IP address>) Then tell Analog to read the DNS file with DNSFILE DNS.DNS DNS READ QDNS should process your logfile, and create the DNS.DNS file in under a minute - if you have Analog do the DNS lookups (with DNS WRITE), it will take a lot longer.
