Subject: "anonymizing" public Top Talker hosts reports

FlowScan users,

For those of you that have a public web site with FlowScan statistics,
there are perhaps privacy concerns with displaying the "Top Talker"
hosts reports in public.  To address this issue, I've added a new
option to the "ip2hostname" utility and attached this new revision
(1.10) of the script here.

You can use this new "-a" option to "anonymize" the hostnames if you
decide that you'd like to put Top Talkers on the public page, e.g.:

   $ ip2hostname -I -a 'host%d.wisc.edu' *.*.*.*_*.html

For more info, try:

   $ ip2hostname -h

That's essentially how I generated the "CampusIO Top Talkers" report
shown in the slides here:

Later,
Dave
