This is a good idea, but the lines beginning with the 16579234 time
stamp are about 95% of the 7MB file. Since the first lines in the file
begin with this time stamp it seems the initial set of host names have
become corrupt, which is weird since analog shouldn't have touched them
for a while.

I grabbed xdns to remove unresolved names from our dns file, I'll see if
that solves the problem after tonight's analog cron job runs . . .
