-> Yes but the point is I do want DNS resolution but not for IP
ranges I know in advance will not resolve.

--> I already have over 100 HOSTALIAS lines that need to be applied
for IP ranges that do not resolve.
--> I am sure that most of the early adopters of analog are very
computer literate but for those who primarily administer Web sites and are
not ex systems programmers setting up pre-processing scripts for all their
log files is very complicated. They want to run one program and get their
output, leaving the original log files unaltered.
