There are always other people who are knowledgeable about any given area, and in this case I've used QuickDNS, but I don't pay much attention to DNS issues in general, so I'm not the best person to help in this instance. I'm sending this reply to the list, rather than directly to you.

It did take about 20 minutes though. 17036043 66.28.250.176 * 17036043 212.19.205.136 alfredo.wise-guys.nl 17036043 216.200.130.203 * 17036043 216.239.46.204 crawl8.googlebot.com The first field here is a timestamp, telling Analog when the lookup was performed, so that it can check it for "freshness" after DNSGOODHOURS or DNSBADHOURS. The second field is the IP address, which is what Analog looks for as it reads each line from the log. > The second, called DNSDNS.TXT is the file that resulted from > using lookupIP (less then a minute).

In other words, it modifies the logfile, and puts the IP names into the logfile. It also creates it's own cache file, but it looks like it's not the same format as Analogs DNS cache file. (Firstly, the timestamp is two orders of magnitude larger than the one that Analog uses - I assume that this means that Analog will consider these lookups unreliable. Secondly, the IP addresses for successful lookups aren't listed here, so Analog has no way of comparing the IP addresses in the log files with the names recorded in this lookup file). > The third, called DNSOUT.IP is the file that resulted from > using quickdns/qdns (about a minute).

I just checked on my machine, and QuickDNS created virtually the same timestamp as Analog did (they ran a few minutes apart, and produced timestamps of 17036103 and 17037607). It also looks like QuickDNS on your machine didn't store unresolved addresses (the /S option when you run it). I don't know why you are getting odd timestamps with QuickDNS, and I've never used lookupIP, so I can't offer much advice there. I would recommend that you debug using a short log file of 3 or 4 lines, though. It should make it easier to spot any obvious issues.
