Is it my imagination or when I turned off Access By Domain Web Reports in the Colbalt control panel, did it really disable the referrals tracking feature in Webalizer????

I think one does not have with the other anything to do. On my RAQ 3/4 is switched off "Access by D.." and webalizer 2.01 runs problem-free (with Referrer Output).

Steffen, that is actually weird, because by turning off the "Access By Domain" you are telling the RAQ not to do look ups on the IP.

I use wusage not webalizer, but wusage has a built in ability to do DNS lookups. This is nice because I run wusage at low usage times on the server and it takes care of DNS lookups. If Webalizer does not do DNS lookups, then you will have to check your httpd.conf file to have the web server do the lookups. As a result, you will have hostnames in your log instead of IPs. I like letting my stats package do the lookups to keep the web server from having to them and also, I get the IPs in case of an attack.

Thanks Huck. The darnd thing about it is, after the first few days I am no longer getting any new ref data on the report page.
