Nathan,

By default, IIS does not resolve the remote IP, because as you're seeing, it
adds a massive overhead to every single hit.  In IIS, for some bizarre
reason, there's no GUI to turn this on and off; it has to be done using CLI.

Subject: Witango-Talk: WiTango Causing Reverse DNS Lookup in IIS?


We've got an interesting issue with a WiT2K, IIS 5.0 server.  The visitor's
IP address in the IIS logs are being resolved, and it appears to be
effecting the server's performance greatly.  A three hour support call to
Microsoft resulted in the removal of Tango WebAnalyzer and WebTrends
(although both services were disabled), as well as a few other items.
However the DNS resolution continues.

Having nothing else to point the finger at, MS thinks it's the WiTango
service.  I told him "no way" because none of our other WiTango boxes are
doing it, but I can only say it with mild conviction because this is the
only one running IIS 5.0.

Anyone out there know if WiTango could be causing the reverse DNS lookup?
