Then I should point out that Analog's basic handling of user agent 
strings is hard coded, and adding completely new strings may require 
recompiling, though in many cases a simple BROWALIAS command will 
suffice. The only real discussion on this topic has been about adding 
Windows Vista and Windows 7 to the Operating System report, rather than 
dealing with fundamentally new browser agent strings.

VHOSTINCLUDE is the command that tells Analog which virtual host to 
report on. I'm not sure whether it can be specified in the form, or if 
it can be excluded by adding it to the forbidden set in anlgform.pl, but 
that's where to look when you're testing this.
