I think it is better to start one background worker thread and pass the log requests to that thread with the help of a queue. You can also consider to let the worker cache the DNS lookup results. (Usually you will see requests from the same clients lots of times.)

As the required DNS reverse lookup can take some time, we would like to do the lookup and the logging in a separate thread. Is it a good idea to just start a new thread for that from a servlets doPost() method? Thanks in advance! Jan -- Dipl.-Inf.
