I'm still not sure what the problem is - how often are you adding new Web 
servers? If you are adding the often enough that you need to script the 
process of adding them to Analog, then you should probably script the 
process of creating them too. If you only create the logfiles occassionally, 
and do it by hand, it would be simpler to just add the appropriate LOGFILE 
statement to analog at the same time.
