sorry - should have included that bit of information... this is what 
my configuration file looks like in that regards:

#
# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
# e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people
# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
# nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups on


which looks right... I was aware of that setting - and haven't 
changed it for... uhm... ever... I thought that somehow following 
your email it should be On instead of on - but I changed that and it 
didn't seem to make any difference...

hmm... any other ideas? I'd rather not have to redo the whole conf 
file - but I guess may be that's the most sensible option?

damn I hate linuxconf! - whatever you do don't let linuxconf near 
your http configuration files... don't even check your http 
configuration using linuxconf... unless you're 100% sure that 
linuxconf is working properly... kinda defeats the purpose of 
linuxconf if you need to debug your linuxconf setup before you can 
use it to make your sysadmin job simpler...

cheers, dan.
