--> My log files are between 500,000 and 1,000,000 lines per day
and I am not using a helper on NT. Our site is being hit from all over the
world, from homes as well as companies, because of this the IP addresses are
not a set group that will enable the DNS cache file to cover them after a
dozen runs or so.
I am a simple man, as they say, and I think if analog (which is
brilliant and highly configurable) is to be used by more Web site
administrators then making it swifter and avoiding building a huge DNS cache
file (mine grew to 11 M Bytes after just 2 weeks worth of logs...) is the
way to go. I guess the question is therefor a bit more fundamental - who is
analog aimed at. If it just for the computer literate programming class
then fine - lets stick to pre-processing and writing perl scripts. If
analog is aimed at providing a solution for lesser mortals then put in the
ability to avoiding looking up unresolvable address and alias them to their
ISPs. I for one would be happy to make available all the lines of HOSTALIAS
I have developed from looking up these addresses on ARIN and RIPE and save
people a lot of work, let their runs go through faster and have small DNS
cache files.
So who is analog for ?
