Caching reverse lookups...

[Kevin Darcy]

Does WebTrends have it's own built-in lookup caching? If not, then I 
*really* don't think you want to go down the path of trying to disable 
BIND's caching. Otherwise, you may find that WebTrends takes 
significantly longer to run, and generates a whole lot more network 
traffic on reverse lookups.
