This is completely wrong. The %S will only last until the first space.

To answer the original question, my preference would be not to log the real
name at all, but to translate it in analog using the HOSTOUTPUTALIAS command.
For example, if you turned *.statslab.cam.ac.uk into "Univ. Cam. Stats. Lab."
at the logging stage, you would not be able to see that it was a request from
the UK, so you could not construct the Domain Report.
If you really want to log real names with spaces in, you should put them in
quotes. Then the closing quote will signify the end of the hostname, and
spaces within it will not cause trouble.
