Under review

I don't see my locally creaed Geolocation information show under the Top-Level Domains report. It would be nice to be able to include the TLD information when adding a Geolocation entry in Options so that my internal IP Addresses could get counted from being under that TLD instead of unknown.

Thank you for considering it.

My assumption is that the normal use for the feature is to add internal IP Addresses to WebLog Expert so they get counted in the correct columns for Visitors. Presently as you know without being able to supply the TLD information within the Geolocation entry screen, I get all my internal IP Addresses displayed correctly for reports under Vistors except the TLD report. I get a big batch of "unknowns" for that report.

Any further consideration for adding the TLD information to the Geolocation Record to provide better local network IP Address information?

To be honest, I think that the TLD report itself isn't useful in most cases. Most users have logs with unresolved IPs and don't use the DNS lookup, so this report is usually empty.

I think that the best way to distinguish a set of IPs is to specify a custom organization name for them in the geolocation settings, so it will be possible to get statistics on the in the organization report.
