I use QuickDNS myself, and have found it easy & reliable. I just installed it, and wrote a batch file that points QuickDNS to my analog.cfg file where it finds the path to the IIS log files to process. Then, make sure that your analog.cfg is set to read the DNS cache created by QuickDNS. my batch is a whopping two lines: qdns /G something.cfg /Y 192.168.1.1 (where 192.168.1.1 is the IP of my DNS server) call analog.exe +gsomething.cfg and something.cfg has this: DNSFILE dnscache.txt DNS read On Tue, 06 Feb 2007 18:05:15 +0000 Alan Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Use one of the helper applications which work a lot >quicker than analog. > > http://www.analog.cx/helpers/index.html#dns > > QuickDNS has worked for me quite well but as I'm mainly >on a Solaris system I use DNSTran. > > Rgds > > Alan Wright > IT Support Technician >Faculty of Education, Health & Sciences > University of Derby > Western Road, Mickleover, DE3 9GX > > http://psychology.derby.ac.uk > > > At 17:38 06/02/2007, you wrote: >>Stephen, >> >>Wow!
