    If domainxyz.com has a meta-refresh redirect to domain-xyz.com, will AWStats on domain-xyz.com show domainxyz.com as the referring url for visitors that rae redirected?

    No.

    Only JavaScript redirect will show the proper referal URL.

    Even PHP and .htaccess redirects are not visible as referers. I am having the same problem and JS redirect is the only way around this problem. :(
