Hello Kevin,
You wanted a "concrete" explanation, well here it is.
I think I might be able to help. I had the same problem with QDNS about a
month ago. Here are my suggestions. After downloading QDNS, make sure that
you have it stored in the same directory as Analog. Also make sure that
your log files are stored in the Analog directory.
If u have not already done so, make sure that you create a "dnsfile.txt".
This is done by typing in the commandline "DNSFILE dnsfile.txt" in your
analog.cfg file. To make this change, u should have your Analog window open
while at the same time running a standard text editor like Note Pad. Next,
you should drag and drop the analog.cfg icon into the Note Pad window.
Having done this, you should see all the commands in your analog.cfg file.
I assume that u have already made the following changes but if u have not,
you should then make the following changes to the configuration file:
You should make sure that your config file is pointing to the logfile(s) you
want processed. This is done by typing in the following commandline at the
very beginning of your analog.cfg file:
LOGFILE yourlogfile.log
Also point to where you want the output:
OUTFILE Report.html
Since your are going to pre-process your logfile(s) using QDNS, you should
have DNS READ in place of DNS WRITE. This is because after pre-processing
using qdns, your newly created DNSfile should have all the IP addresses
resolved (or at least the ones that it can resolve).
Having made the changes above, u should then save your changes. Next u need
to drag your DNSFILE.txt and logfile(s) into the QuickDNS subdirectory.
Next, run the Cmd.exe/Command prompt program.
Next you want to type in the path leading to your QDNS sub directory. For
my particular case, what I did was:
"cd C:\analog folder\analog_411w32\analog 4.11\analog x\QuickDNS" and then
press enter.
I created a folder called "Analog Folder" which is where I store all analog
documents, including QDNS. If u have not done so, I suggest that you do so
to make life a bit easier.
"analog_411w32" is the name of the directory containing all the files
neccessary to carry out the log processing. The rest should be self
explanatory.
Next, while still inside the cmd.exe program, after the path name u have
just typed out, u should type in "qdns" and then press the ENTER button.
This should display a list of all the commands available to qdns.
Next, u should type in the following:
"qdns /d dnsfile.txt /L yourlogfile.log" and then press the ENTER button.
This should process your logfile by looking up the IP addresses inside the
logfile.
The next step is to drag your dnsfile.txt & yourlogfile.log back into the
Analog 4.11 subdirectory.
Finally, you simply double-click on the Analog.exe icon. A black screen
should appear and after a couple of seconds the screen should return to the
analog 4.11 window.
Next, click on the Report.html document and you should have your reports
with the resolved IP addresses for the completed Organisation & Domain
Reports.
If u need any help please feel free to communicate.
Stephen

Nate/Angus-
Thanks for the instructions. Unfortunately, unlike others here, I'm just
not
experienced in DOS. Html- yep, Desktop applications- no problemo. DOS?
Forget
about it.
So, suggestions such as 'run a batch file' mean nothing to me. That's one
of
the big problems I face in dealing with Analog. However, it is up and
running
and it took just 55 minutes to chase down all the DNS's.
As for QuickDNS- well, I reckon I'll need to acquire a basic primer on DOS
before I can make sense of steps 2) through 3) below, simple, though they
seem.
