As far as I can tell, QDNS only reads one /L parameter (the last one), so if you want to analyze multiple logs that you can't specify by a wildcard pattern, you have to run QDNS against each file one by one (the DNS file is cumulative), or create a .cfg file with a list of the logfiles.

It doesn't matter how you create them I have played with this for two days now and might have a better handle on how it works. My main question, albeit clouded, was if qdns made an output into, for example, dnscache.txt by virtue of looking up ALL addresses found in ALL logs? My experiments seem to say qdns only looks up a single log. Whereas it *appears* that I can place a wildcard inside the analog.cfg explaining that the daily logs are files named /ex*.log.

The DNS cache file is list of DNS addresses that have been looked up before. It doesn't matter how you create them - have Analog do it, use one of the helper apps like QDNS, or even create it by hand. Once it has been created, Analog can read the cache file, with DNS READ, and it will run about as fast as it would with DNS turned off. To create the DNS cache file with QDNS, just run QDNS /L /D DNS.DNS (Some people find that the have to manually specify /Y ) Then tell Analog to read the DNS file with DNSFILE DNS.DNS DNS READ QDNS should process your logfile, and create the DNS.DNS file in under a minute - if you have Analog do the DNS lookups (with DNS WRITE), it will take a lot longer.

[reportmagic-help] QDNS helper program
Hello All: I read where enabling DNS Write really slowed things down. That if I used AnalogX's Qdns that it would speed up. So I got it. However, I do not understand how it can process the file named dnscache.txt, inside the Analog folder, if Analog never writes new log IP's into it. And, if it DOES write new entries into it, does that mean that Analog is also looking them up ??? seems a puzzlement. I am testing with about 700kB log from my server and it takes several minutes before Analog releases for me to use Report-Magic ..IF I use DNS Write in the config file. -- Regards Robert D.
