.TH CONVERT-IP-DB 1 "August 1999" Fastresolve
.SH NAME
convert-ip-db \- prepare IP address to hostname mappings for Analog
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B convert-ip-db
[ip2host.db]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B convert-ip-db
reads a DB file produced by
.BR dns-terror .
It converts the IP address to
hostname mappings from that file into Analog config directives.  It
writes to the standard output, which should be saved in a file
(suggested name: dns.cache) which is sourced in Analog config
files with:
.PP
.nf
DNS READ
DNSFILE ./dns.cache
# 1008 is (35+7)*24, one week past the expire-ip-db default.
DNSGOODHOURS 1008
DNSBADHOURS 1008
.fi
.PP
This handling of IP address resolution is similar in speed to using
.B "dns-terror \-oz"
to rewrite the log files in gzip form with IP addresses resolved,
so perhaps it should be considered obsolete.
.SH FILES
.IP ip2host.db
Default input DB file.
.IP dns.cache
