Help with props.conf with lookup?

All,

I have a lookup, which I in turn want to do a couple aliases on. But doesn't seem to work. I get clienthost back, but the aliases don't. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

  ## Some DNS
  FIELDALIAS-real_ip_as_clientip = real_ip as clientip
  LOOKUP-dns = dnslookup clientip OUTPUT clienthost
  FIELDALIAS-clienthost_as_src_host = clienthost AS src_host
  FIELDALIAS-clienthost_as_src_dns = clienthost AS src_dns

Have a look at this really nice Splunk documentation which provides sequence of all search time operation.

The Field Aliasing happes before Lookup, that's the reason you don't see your clienthost aliases.

This might work:

LOOKUP-dns = dnslookup clientip OUTPUT clienthost clienthost as src_host clienthost as src_dns

basically lookup is outputting 3 fields (same field with different names)
