DNS help

    I have a server running lxadmin and using bind dns and it seems to be having problems resolving IPs to countries. It's more of a mild annoyance than a problem but it means my stats wont feature countries and some forums im running on the server wont display users country/hostname.

    Any ideas on what could be solving the problem or how i would go about fixing it?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    not really to understand your issue. Do you mean users in some countries cannot reach your sites?

    Thanks for taking an interest but thats not the problem and its probably my fault for not explaining it properly.

    I have setup the nameservers with bind and had no problems and anyone can access my site. Take what ive written above and i will post a screenshot of my stats to show you what i mean.

    it sounds the awstats issue, not your dns server. What's the value of DNSLookup in your awstats config?

    Well originally I assumed it was an error within awstats but i get the same results when trying to lookup hostnames using the mybb admin panel.
