Geolizer is a patch for Webalizer that uses the GeoIP library to generate faster and more reliable geographic statistics than the default DNS suffix method. It is recommended that DNS reversal be disabled on your HTTP server for improved performance and more accurate statistics. It can be compiled under MinGW/MSYS and features a human-readable transfer size display. [edit]

First, Geolizer relies on the propriatary GeoIP library and database which only supports IPv4. Second, in the description of Geolizer, it suggests turning off DNS resolution completely and only logging IP addresses. Doing so will break several other aspects of the Webalizer, like search string analysis (which needs resolved hostnames to identify search engines). For the best of both worlds, DNS resolution should be enabled on your web server and Geolocation enabled in the Webalizer. Check out the next release of The Webalizer which not only provides it's own DNS lookups capability, but also it's own native Geolocation database that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 lookups (and both can be used at the same time).
