The docs say use "dnsfile.txt", and my recollection is that when I 
had the DNS set-up working properly before, "dnscache" was created 
when I first activated DNSGOODHOURS and DNSBADHOURS.

Then every time I processed my accumulating log with analog in the 
server directory, dnscache kept accumulating the new IP names, and 
dnsfile.txt returned to 0 K at the end of each processing (although 
the docs say that,

      "analog saves the addresses it has looked up in a file, so that
      you don't have to look them up again next time. . . . The file is
      specified by a command like

           DNSFILE dnsfile.txt"

and don't mention dnscache - which was what was actually created and 
saved the addresses. Confusing!).

However, notwithstanding the appearance or non-appearance, and the 
contents or non-contents of dnsfile.txt and dnscache in my server 
analog directory, analog processes the IP names each session for the 
FROM and TO dates configured - presumably from the DOMAIN ON 
configuration.

My problem therefore remains'

      1) I can't accumulate the IP name look-ups each session in my server
         directory. even though they show up in my reports.  Both
         dnsfile.txt and dnscache are there, and both continue to contain
         0 K - session after session.

      2) When I obtain the look-ups in from the log file independently, in
         dnscache, using DNSTran, I can't process the Domain report off Internet
         - and the IP names in the Host and Organization reports remain numeric.

To repeat - the configurations I am using are:

      On-Internet,

         DNSFILE dnsfile.txt
         DNS WRITE
         DOMAIN ON
         DOMSORTBY REQUESTS
         DNSGOODHOURS 840
         DNSBADHOURS 840
         DOMCOLS 1R
         DOMFLOOR 1R

      and Off-Interfnet, substituting,

        DNSFILE dnscache
        DNS READ

I think the configuration error or omission is elsewhere in 
analog.cfg, and hope one of our list participants can see what it is 
and advise.
