If you use DNStrans for the first pass and are saving a dnscache, the dnscache will be there for your second pass and you won't need to rerun DNStrans.
You can decrease DNS resolution time by discarding duplicates. I haven't used DNStrans, so I don't know if it discards duplicate IP numbers. I use jdresolve and it doesn't discard duplicates, so I cut all IP numbers from the log, sort them with the unique flag, store them in a file, resolve into a second file (line for line), then paste both files into a new file. Finally, I insert a time stamp into the new file. The result is a dnscache in which each IP number was resolved only once. This trims a lot of time from our runs. This is because we have a lot of duplicates. If you don't have many duplicates, this might not be worth the effort of setting up a script to handle all of these tasks. Or, if DNStrans already is handling this task, then no further action is needed on your part.

Actually, I just tried to run it without the DNS/host stuff, and it took 10 minutes (as opposed to 8 hours with DNS read with a dnstran cache)!
So I guess I can run it twice, I don't need the host stuff in the computer readable output.
Thanks! J.F.

One run, one report. But unless you're doing DNS lookups, Analog is usually extremely fast. What size are you log files, and how long are your reports taking?
