The "distinct hosts" count is the number of distinct hosts that occur in 
whatever log files are being analysed. If you analyse daily logs you might 
get 27 "distinct hosts" on Monday, 32 on Tuesday, 12 on Wednesday, 17 on 
Thursday, 65 on Friday, 50 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday.

If you analyse all 7 logfiles in a single run, your "distinct hosts" figure 
could be anything between 65 and 205.
