Alternative to REMOTE_HOST?

[drkrabba]

Dear All,

as you know, the Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") returns the REMOTE_ADDR-value in default mode (the IP-address of the client,) and that this can be changed in the server settings by doing as described here [asp101.com...]

However, my web-host is not at all helpful in changing the settings of the server, so I am in great need to find an alternative to the REMOTE_HOST in order to file the statistics of the homepage. Anybody aware of any alternatives?

All help required!

Best regards,
lickuid

Are you looking to resolve it to a name in your program itself, or after-the-fact (i.e. Weblog analysis).

If it's the former, do the lookup on the fly.

If it's the latter, parse the logs with a resolver. There are tons available. I believe the awstats homepage has a link to a few of them.
