The whole point of "HostNameLookups Off" is to avoid the netweork traffic of back-and-forthing with a nameserver just to provide a name that has low integrity in any case. Log processing scripts should either be able to deal with either a name or an IP address.. or else you should make your own log format string that uses "%a" instead of the default "%h". See the mod_log_config docco. I can see documenting this behaviour a bit better, but not changing it.. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar <http://Web.Golux.Com/coar/> Apache Software Foundation <http://www.apache.org/> "Apache Server for Dummies" <http://ASFD.MeepZor.Com/>
