Dan:
I can't explain why it would stop the lookups but look at your httpd.conf
file. There is a directive that states "HostnameLookups Off". I always
remember from the past that I had to set that to on to force lookups for
logging. The default setup is Off. Set it to on if it is off of course and
restart httpd if this is the case. (I'm sending this at 12:52 EST on
10/25/00, just curious as my post have been arriving about 3 to 4 hours
later)
Hope this helps,
Eddie Strohmier
