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

Here's what I've done ... why not preprocess the log before letting webalizer take a look at it? Kick off a cron job at slow hours to scan the log and do all the reverse resolutions, then hand it to webalizer for processing. Granted ... my sites are so low volume they probably wouldn't notice me doing reverse resolution in the first place, but I've not heard any complaints about this method either. 

Just a thought.

        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!
