I have a need to augment log information with something useful.  The 
problem is that I don't know how to feed the results back into the log 
stream.

Consider the log entry

"Peer 1.2.3.4 down"

I want to dereference the value 1.2.3.4 into foo.bar.com.  Do I do this 
as a Single and then create a new event?

type=Single
ptype=regex
pattern=Peer (\S+) down
desc=My peer at $1 went down
action=shellcmd /usr/bin/host $1 ; create 60 .... ?

I wish to create a new event:
My peer foo.bar.com (1.2.3.4) is down

Please advise on how best to handle the lookaside and augmentation.  I 
am confused by the sec.pl man for action= and script= configuration items.
