I just committed a patch this morning that puts address resolution stats
into info.html (Configuration page) and textinfo.html.

Address Resolution

DNS responses sniffed.....61
Total Queued.....12
Current Queue.....0
Maximum Queued.....8
Total calls.....12
  less 'Found in ntop cache'.....0
  less 'Error: No cache database'.....0
Gives: # gethost (DNS lookup) calls.....12
Success: Resolved.....8
Error: HOST_NOT_FOUND.....4
Error: NO_DATA.....0
Error: NO_RECOVERY.....0
Error: TRY_AGAIN.....0
Error: Other error.....0
Host addresses kept numeric.....4

Note that the result of a dns lookup should be the same as the results of a
nslookup/dig of the address from the ntop host.

See if you're getting lots of TRY_AGAINs - I had that when my resolv.conf
was messed up (pointing at a broken caching nameserver).

Burton, I too have issues with ntop not looking up names for Netflow
hosts when the interface is switched.
Only some hosts resolve , I suspect with packet sniffing, and yet they
all can be resolved from the ntop host cmd line.

I saw your note about address.c, but decoding that was beyond me.

Is this a local interface issue ?? - anything I can do to help fix ??,
as I would prefer all hosts to be resolved.
