RE: [cobalt-users] my webalizer stats cant figure out which country hits comes from



Greetings,

	Let's not forget ReverseDNS WILL slow things down as it
has to cross-reference every last hit to the Server.  On a RaQ4
it's not that bad, but it will be slightly noticeable.  If you
run more than 50 sites on one server and 5-10 or more are high
traffic sites, it could really slow things up just for the sake
of having that webalizer function work!

	Just a consideration to keep you fully informed before
taking the plunge.  We've done it, it's livable, but we don't have
more than 10 high-traffics (5K or more unique per month) on any
one server that would show how bogged it could become.
