Resolving an IP would last way too long. You could run one of those "firewall logfile analyzers" on your logfile. Most of them (check out freshmeat.net) do try to resolve the domain names. BTW, I'm just hacking at an IP accounting frontend based on rrdtool for 2.4. As of I don't want to use iptables syscalls to get the byte/packet counter values, I try to use the socket calls (because there is no /proc/net/ip_fwchains anymore in 2.4, which I had used in earler accounting tools). However I seem to fail miserable. If anyone is willing to help me, please send me mail (ideally attached with an example of how it works, I'm in desperation currently). My perl<->socket abilities don't seem to be too suited for this task... :-/ Thx a lot.
