lhoward, some AM below requested this in mod_perl format.

Do you mind if I rewrite for use in mod_perl? Or are you going to do it?

Feel free to rewrite it in mod_perl format. I currently have no plans to rewrite it in mod_perl myself. I originally wrote this outside of mod_perl because I did not do mod_perl at the time of its original development.

One feature I would love to add to this program is real-time reverse-DNS lookups of browsing hosts. The tricky part about that is you have to do it in a way that doesn't block the webserver (so it isn't slowed down).

I sometimes have issues determining when something should be programmed or scripted. If I need my nightly logs dns checked, should I write the program to do it automagically, or should I just set a cron job to do logresolve every night.

I guess I'm not the only person who has ever had this issue.
