    I have looked over the forums and did not find anything that would fix my problem what I am seeing with Webalizer is that Usage by country shows unresolved/unknown. I have the server on behind a firewall using nat. All the stats show up right but this.. I have looked at /etc/webalizer.conf and I do have the dns_cache.db file listed and its set at 10. Server has full access to the internet. Nothing is being blocked outgoing. www.domain.com/stats works fine I just get Usage by country unresolved/unknown. Please help thanks.

    Looks like it cannot access the outside DNS servers. What's in /etc/resolv.conf? Do you have bind running locally?

    I do have bind running and it works great I use it for one of my dns servers.
    Here is the output from /etc/resolv.conf
    nameserver 10.11.1.5
    nameserver 4.2.2.1


    I can run nslookup on the local dns server and I get an output of zone file information I have added to the server.

    > ls -d domain.com
    [domain.com]
    domain.com. SOA domain.com. admin.domain.com. (20070
    13001 28800 7200 604800 86400)
    domain.com. A 10.11.1.5
    domain.com. NS domain.com.
    www A 10.11.1.5
    www MX 10 www.domain.com.
    domain.com. SOA domain.com. admin.domain.com.. (20070
    13001 28800 7200 604800 86400)

    domain.com. was placed for posting in place of my real domain.

    But as you can see its running and in place I can run updates on the server yum update and so on they all use host names to get the updates. Lan is not blocked any access to the internet.

    The nameserver IP's do look like local IP's and do not point to a valid nameserver. What happens if you do e.g. (from commandline)
    Code:
    dig google.com
    Because your testing here only shows your local Bind server resolves for it's own internal network.
    With the dig google.com you should at least see the ANSWER section like:
    Code:
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    google.com.             300     IN      A       64.233.167.99
    google.com.             300     IN      A       64.233.187.99
    google.com.             300     IN      A       72.14.207.99

    It looks like your server only resolves the zone it is hosting itself.

    if you try this command what output do you get?

    Code:
    dig -x 72.14.207.99

    you have to change your /etc/resolv.conf file. Enter the dns server of your ISP.

    I changed my dns servers to
    nameserver 68.94.156.1
    nameserver 68.94.157.1
    ~

    now I am not getting any responce. I am using m0n0wall ruleset is
    TCP DMZ net * WAN address *

    I think I found the problem m0n0wall was dropping ICMP and UDP packets.
    to the wan interface I allowed them and I was able to get a response.

    I checked the stats today after I visited the site from outside and inside still shows 100%unresolved would this be a problem with the server being behind a NAT?

    ISPConfig doesn't use /etc/webalizer.conf, it uses /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.conf. Please check if the settings there suit your needs.

    NAT should not be the problem. I'm not familiar with webalizer, but is there an option to set DNS lookups? I know in awstats there is. If you don't set it correct, you only get IP numbers.

    Can someone tell me what part of the conf file I have to enable if its off

    I do see a section that says countrygraph and it says that it is enabled as yes. DNScache files reads dns_cache.db no path.

    thanks in advance.

    The important settings are DNSCache and DNSChildren.
    You can try DNSCache with a full path to see if it changes anything.
