Those lines aren't from your logfile, so no, Analog won't put a * under
them.

If you give Analog two log files, and some of the entries occur trwice,
then Analog's results won't be a true reflection of the actual traffic
to your website.

It's unlikely - I don't know that you can configure a webserver to write
the same entry twice. It sounds more likely that whatever "log rotation"
process is being used to create daily log files is just copying the
current days log, and then leaving it in place, so that you have the
copy that you made, and the original, and the web server just keeps
appending to the original log.

But that's just a guess.
