Sure; it's in
http://cs.indiana.edu/bin/hoststat.pl (it's a perl
program.) It's designed to read log files in which each line starts
with a (numeric) IP address; anyone who knows perl could change
formats easily enough. I can't promise it's super efficient, but it
avoids doing really dumb things (like calling gethostbyname() on the
same host seven hundred times.)
