Does anyone know how I can get Webalizer to do both using STDIN?

IIRC, you need to use a dns cache file (webalizer's, not djbdns or bind). Webalizer refers to it, and looks up what it can't find. It's an explicit command-line parameter, I think [-D /dir/dnscachefilename]?

Yes I already use Webalizer's DNS file which can be, and is, specified in the config file.
