There shouldn't be a DNS lock file, unless you have a DNSLOCKFILE
directive in your configuration. And even if you do, it should be
deleted when Analog completes successfully. But you shouldn't need it if
you are running Analog on your desktop, and don't have to worry about
two copies of Analog writing to the same DNS file at the same time.

Use one of the DNS helper apps and set Analog to use DNS READ.
