Automated IP Addresses "Who Is" Look Ups

Looking up Multiple IP Address "Who Is"

[eileenglo]

Does anyone use Web Trends currently to generate reports for "Who Is" IP Address Look Ups - for multiple IP Addresses at once? (or any other analytics program). We're looking for the funtionality to automate IP Look ups and generate daily or weekly reports. For example, if we want to generate weekly report of all IP Addresses that came to our web site by clicking on a PPC ad for a "ABC Software". We currently track the "actions" to the PPC Searches - with IP Addresses. But have to manually look up IP Address "Who Is" vs. automating this process. Can't get straight answer from Web Trends re: if it can be configured to generate an automated report with this information. Any recommendations would be greatly apprecaited!

I don't know the answer to your question specfically, but I was under the impression that to do automated (repeated) whois lookups, one needed to secure permission from the address registries.

If you get traffic from a wide range of providers, it will slow WebTrends down (due to the lookups and inability to leverage caching).
