Thank you - I was looking at a copy of the 3.1 documentation, which
wasn't a particularly smart thing to do, I just happened to have it
handy.
I also found out that HOSTSORTBY isn't being ignored - the Detailed Host
Report section on the sample form default's to Alphabetical, and I
forget that it was there.
The DNS behaviour is a good thing, because it took almost 15 minutes to
generate the DNS file for only 600 hosts. Obviously, that would be a
problem if I relied solely on the Form interface.

Hi Aengus,
My understanding is that you have to explicitly tell Analog to
do DNS READ from the CGI arguments, despite the DNS settings in
your ANALOG.CFG. You also have to specify the location of the
DNS lookup file in the same argument. The CGI program defaults
to DNS NONE otherwise which is what I believe you are
experiencing.
for example:
dn=/usr/local/analog/dnsfile.txt
See point 8 in the 'troubleshooting' section of 'form interface
and cgi program' in Stephen's documentation.
