As some have noticed, AWFFull didn't exactly maintain the pre-existing
DNS lookup capability of webalizer. As of version 3.02 of AWFFull, that
capability has been removed entirely.
Why?
The existing DNS lookup capability had a number of problems. Mostly
around a inability to maintain meaningful lookups over periods of years.
In my experience it is rare for web logs to be analysed once, and even
more rarely with only the one program. Thus an external "filtering"
IP lookup facility for those logs makes more sense.
This lead to the birth of a program which I called "DNSHistory".
Which can be retrieved from here:

I also feel quite strongly that AWFFull is better served by focusing
on just log analysis, and that DNS issues are better handled elsewhere.
A simplification if you will.
Using awffull and DNSHistory is quite simple.
Assume you have a logfile to process: accesslog.log
$ dnshistory -d dns.db -f accesslog.log
$ dnshistory -T -d dns.db -f accesslog.log | awffull -c awffull.conf
