I've been using Analog for years, and I never even knew there was a PROGRESSFREQ directive until now, because Analog is so fast that I've never needed it. (I just did a quick test, and analysed a logfile of 1,000,000 entries in less than 3 minutes, on a 600Mhz PIII. Of course, that's without doing DNS translation - I'm not even going to try it with Analog doing DNS translation, because I know it will take hours. But I can resolve the 25,000 hosts in that log file in about 10 or so minutes using a helper app. Have you tried to use DNSTrans with your logs?) I don't know of any way to do what you're actually asking for, because I presume that Analog simply switches the value of STDOUT when you set the ERRFILE directive.
