It's cached DNS lookup information for analog. It speeds up stats
processing by caching IP address lookups. You can delete it at the
expense of stats processing speed. And it will reappear and continue
to grow.
I'd move it to a new directory under /home, and symlink it:
su -
mkdir -p /home/cache
mv /var/cache/analog.dns /home/cache
ln -s /home/cache/analog.dns /var/cache/analog.dns
- --
