Most systems nowadays log IP addresses rather than names - to do names,
you have to do a reverse lookup of the address. Given the fairly woeful
state of the in-addr.arpa. space, this can take some time, and this will
have a _major_ performance impact on your system. 

The best way to do what you want is probably to post-process the logs 
using something like logresolve 
(http://www.aceldama.com/~tomr/progs/logresolve/) or similar.

There's a bunch listed at 
http://ntua.linuxberg.com/conhtml/adm_log.html
and also at
http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex/console/log%20analyzers.html

Perhaps someone looking for a small project could put together a
how-to listing log analysers that work on the Z2.log format...
