This may be a dynamically allocated IP for the user, or just a proxy server. The typical home user doesn't have any permanent IP address at all.

This may be > a dynamically allocated IP for the user, or just a proxy server. The proxy server is an even better example of the problems that can happen here. For example, the local university runs most of it's connections through a proxy server. So one of the 18,000 students could hit your site from a computer lab on campus and all you'll get in your logs is the IP number of the proxy server that they are running through. Even if it does provide a unique IP number for each computer on campus, you still have as many as 18,000 students (not to mention faculty and staff) using only about 250 computer, so it's very hard to tell when one user stops and another starts. -- Jeremy Wadsack OutQuest Magazine a Wadsack-Allen publication This is the analog-help mailing list.

First, that's a dangerous assumption. Most ISPs (good ones) have a ten-to-one ratio of users and incoming lines (bad ones have even more users per line). They dynamically assign an IP number (unique DNS request) to each line as it connects and the user maitains that IP number for the balance of their session. However, the next dial-up user will get the same IP number and would appear to your logs as the same user (by your assumptions), when in fact there may be ten times that many (or more). But, as long as you're aware of that (and it sounds like you are) If you set up an analog config for the file in question, then the host report will be exactly what you are looking for. It lists number of requests/host, but each host is only listed once. Which gives you a count of unique hosts. > Also, is it necessary to resolve numerical DNS's in order to produce a > drill-down for the Domain report and/or for the report described in the > previous paragraph?

Turn off DNS resolving and it will only give you numerical numbers HTH, -- Jeremy Wadsack OutQuest Magazine a Wadsack-Allen publication This is the analog-help mailing list.
