Now I understand this part, so the dns.txt from lookupIP is a kind of 
'intermediate' file, because of the strange 'stamp' not suitable as a 
dnsfile within analog, but as i learned now, saving the 'changed' logfile 
will do, and give the results with domainnames.
Just this, would this also go with .zip files ?

Fortunately these time stamps turned out right now, and following
your suggestion to use the /D and /L parameter (and /Y )

QDNS /D C:\Analog\qdns.txt /L C:\logfiles\access.log /Y 12.34.56.78

instead of the /G parameter (cant get this working), results are now 
satisfactory.

Thanks for thinking with me and suggesting....
