Ya, I have to agree here. I purposely leave the HostnameLookups set to off
because of the significant server performance difference I noticed when I
thought it would be a cool idea to leave it on so I would not have to do a
nslookup on any certain IP. Though if your running a site that wants
webstats by domain name, etc., you will need it on so the log files will
contain that resolved IP.
