There is, but I recommend that you do the lookups when you need the
information (i.e., when you're parsing the logs) rather than when
you're logging, or you'll turn your machine into treacle doing reverse
DNS on everyone, and people without reverse DNS will have problems
connecting. Most log analysers have the option to do host lookups.
