Hi guys,

Webalizer ver. 1.30 does not handle DNS reversing, so unless you parse your access logs separately, (such as with /usr/sbin/logresolve, or a 3rd party log parser) you will get everything showing Unresolved/Unknown. You want to keep your DNS settings as is, especially if your server is busy. Having all incoming traffic reversed causes unnecessary strain on the server and the network.

Now, Webalizer ver. 2.0 does its own reversing, but requires libraries that aren't in the standard build. There's a very nice gentleman named Zeffie who will set up Webalizer on your RaQ for a nominal fee. You can reach him at cobalt-proj@xxxxxxxx

Good luck!
