Not sure if this is just a documentation problem, or what. The hostexclude documentation says: HOSTINCLUDE 131.111.20.18 # simple IP address HOSTINCLUDE 131.111.20.* # wildcard HOSTINCLUDE 131.111.20 # the same meaning HOSTINCLUDE 131.111.20-23 # a range of class C addresses HOSTINCLUDE 131.111.20.18/23 # subnet mask
I've got "hostexclude 100.100.111" to exclude internal addresses (allocated via dhcp or similar). Naturally some of these fail to look up via analog's dnslookup (days or weeks later). Having been inserted into the dnslookup file with a * (not found) they appear on the host (and other) reports as 100.100.111.24 or similar: the hostexclude doesn't eliminate them. Changing it to "hostexclude 100.100.111.*" fixes the problem. Caused me some concern when I thought external hosts were accessing admin stuff that they should have been blocked from ! I also have "hostexclude 100.100.100-101" - not sure what the ideal syntax would be there, but they're not a big problem as they're static addresses.
