Hello,
I'm using Analog 4+ on a Unix machine. 

I'm trying to get web stats for our external site without including the
misleading stats from our internal users (i.e. just interested in page
requests from people outside our company). I've tried using DNS write etc
to create a lookup file so I can translate the IP adresses in our log files
to the domain name. However, this took 3 days and did not end up excluding
the desired hosts (i.e. the people from our company with our domain name).
Perhaps they can't be resolved??Any ideas??

My next step was to use HOSTEXCLUDE with the IP address like this. 
HOSTEXCLUDE 252.232.145.* 

Thus signifying that any IP address with this string plus whatever numbers
(*) will be excluded. This works and is reflected in the stats. I'm still
working with our IT department to make sure I have included all the ranges
of IP addresses. 

Another thing I have done is to use the USEREXCLUDE. This also works but is
only really useful for eliminating internal users (from our company) that
have high numbers of page requests.

Any ideas that could be passed my way would be much appreciated. The end
goal being able to eliminate all page requests from internal company users
so that the stats present a "real" picture of what is happening with our
web site.

Thanks!!
