Re: [TCLUG:21450] Apache log problems...

[Adam Maloney <adamm@sihope.com>]

Each time a page is requested the webserver would have to do a lookup.
It's really bad.  If you're only expecting a few 1000 hits/day it's
probably not a big deal, it'll still be noticably slower serving pages to
your web clients though.

There are lots of scripts available that will do the name lookups for the
IP's in a logfile.  You could write it in awk (if you knew it), perl would
be well suited too.  The easiest thing would just be to find one on-line
though.  There may even be one that comes with the apache distro, I don't
remember.
