Analog doesn't create a unique host count in the time reports. To count the number of page or requests in a time period, you just need a simple cumulative counter. To count the number of unique hosts in that same period, you need to create a table of all the unique hosts that occur during that time period, and then count them at the end of the period. Analog isn't designed to work that way.
