It doesn't and won't work that way. It's possible for multiple IP
addresses to map to the same host name and you can add
HOSTINCLUDE/HOSTEXCLUDE and HOSTALIAS commands match hostnames as well.
In both cases, Analog needs to know the hostname of all IP's in the log
file to make sure it's properly applying the rules.

If you use DNS WRITE, Analog will create a cache file of all the lookups
it has successfully identified and not look those up the next time it
runs. 

There are also a host of helper applications that can do asynchronous,
multithreaded lookups much faster than Analog. See
http://analog.cx/docs/helpers/#dns.

Subject: [analog-help] DNS lookups for only hosts listed in Host Report

Hi,

I just tried turning on DNS lookups and was surprised
to see that it was looking up ?all? IP addresses.

Is there a command that will make it only look up the
100 IP addresses that show up in the Host &
Organization Reports instead of the 200,000 that visit
my site daily?

Thanks, and thanks to Stephen for the great log analyzer.
