Lets get back to basics here - nobody lets Analog do anything more than
trivial amounts of DNS on it's own - if you've got thousands of records,
you're using a "helper" to do the resolution. Analogs existing mechanism
for handling DNScache files is considered adequate, even for very large
log files, so the appropriate place to handle this kind of aliasing is in
a custom helper app, not in Analog itself.
The model used in jdresolv is already a big improvement on what Analog
does, (though it needs work on the cross-platform side of things :-) and
adding a lookup function to tell it to skip various swathes of addresses
shouldn't be that big a deal, though I'm not convinced that it's worth the
effort, as jdresolv works all that stuff out on it's own, and it doesn't
take it very long.
