Just for my own curiosity, since I've been applauding QuickDNS:
15:46:00 begin reading 932,119 cached DNS entries in 44.6 Mb DNS cache
file, 699,970 of which are unresolved;
15:46:10 finish reading DNS cache; begin reading 10 Mb of log files
containing 53,177 unique IP addresses, and checking them against the DNS
cache
15:46:26 begin resolving 12,126 new IP addresses using 45 kbits/second
dialup, sending out 25-second bursts of DNS requests
16:03:28 resolution complete; begin writing new DNS cache file of
944,244 IP addresses
16:03:46 complete writing new DNS 45.2 Mb cache file
Time elapsed: 17:46
I seriously doubt whether it could be done very much faster, unless
the weather had been better for my dialup connection or someone was
using a high-speed connection.
HOWEVER, I have found that QuickDNS can find IP addresses in just
about any file. I've run it on my firewall logs, and on at least one
other type of file containing some IP addresses (I've forgotten which it
was ~ eMail files?), and it identifies the ###.###.###.### formatted IP
address and runs with it.
SO one possible solution for Michael Kellogg would be to:
1. Run Analog once using a configuration file to produce a
restricted report showing the desired visiting hosts, with "DNS Read"
set, and as little else as is possible to configure;
2. Run QuickDNS on that report, writing a new DNS cache file adding
only those host addresses reported by Analog;
3. Run Analog again using a configuration file to produce the final
desired report, again with "DNS Read" set.
Should be faster than doing it by hand.
