DOH! Of course. For apache it's: # HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP numbers # e.g. www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off) # You should probably turn this off unless you are going to actually # use the information in your logs, or with a CGI. Leaving this on # can slow down access to your site. HostnameLookups off cheers! -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
