It all happens on your computer. Analog calls the operating system time
routine on your computer to get the time and does some fairly simple math
on it before using it to write the DNS cache entries. Your interaction
with the server stops the moment the log file is on your local machine. I
wonder if your hardware clock is reading back a different random time
each time it is read. That would account for things perfectly.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
