CONVERT-IP-DB(1)	     General Commands Manual		CONVERT-IP-DB(1)

NAME
     convert-ip-db - prepare IP address to hostname mappings for Analog

SYNOPSIS
     convert-ip-db [ip2host.db]

DESCRIPTION
     convert-ip-db  reads  a DB file produced by 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 (sug-
     gested name: dns.cache) which is sourced in Analog config files with:

     DNS READ
     DNSFILE ./dns.cache
     # 1008 is (35+7)*24, one week past the expire-ip-db default.
     DNSGOODHOURS 1008
     DNSBADHOURS 1008

     This handling of IP address resolution is similar in speed  to  using  dns-
     terror  -oz  to  rewrite  the  log files in gzip form with IP addresses re-
     solved, so perhaps it should be considered obsolete.

FILES
     ip2host.db
	    Default input DB file.

     dns.cache
	    Suggested output file name.
