Re: [cobalt-users] webalizer and reverse.dns

[Bobby Hancock <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can either disable reverse lookups in the /etc/webalizer.conf file
or specify the path to the dns cache file. Either way, editing the conf
file should do it. Start by commenting out the lines:


# DNSCache specifies the DNS cache filename to use for reverse DNS
lookups.
# This file must be specified if you wish to perform name lookups on any
IP
# addresses found in the log file.  If an absolute path is not given as
# part of the filename (ie: starts with a leading '/'), then the name is

# relative to the default output directory.  See the DNS.README file for

# additional information.

#DNSCache       /home/blah/dns_cache.db

# DNSChildren allows you to specify how many "children" processes are
# run to perform DNS lookups to create or update the DNS cache file.
# If a number is specified, the DNS cache file will be created/updated
# each time the Webalizer is run, immediately prior to normal
processing,
# by running the specified number of "children" processes to perform
# DNS lookups.  If used, the DNS cache filename MUST be specified as
# well.  The default value is zero (0), which disables DNS cache file
# creation/updates at run time.  The number of children processes to
# run may be anywhere from 1 to 100, however a large number may effect
# normal system operations.  Reasonable values should be between 5 and
# 20.  See the DNS.README file for additional information.

#DNSChildren    10
