HOSTALIAS will save you significantly more memory and processing than
ORGALIAS -- it changes the data that Analog reports on, rather than
the individual lines on the report page.

If you want to write Aliases to replace all DNS lookups you could. But
that might be a lot of records to maintain (in multiple places).
