The third-party resolvers that seem to get the most discussion here are jdresolve and QuickDNS (Windows). We've used DNSTran for years without problems on a Debian box. It's pre-compiled.
http://analog.cx/helpers/index.html#dns Analog has a COMPRESS command that is intended to uncompress log files (Analog internally supports tar, gzip and zip). You can leverage this command to run any pre-process on a log file as long as it sends the processed file to STDOUT. -- Jeremy Wadsack Seven Simple Machines > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:analog-help- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Lechner > Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2007 6:47 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [analog-help] What helper app do you use for DNS lookup? > > Hi to all, > > [this is my first post to this list; the topic is maybe a little bit OT] > > I just tried to compile fastresolve quite hard, but I was not able to > figure out how to build it on a current system (I use Debian 4.0).
